^^^They are different....what store were you at in Milwaukee? I was there couple weeks ago and they labeled regular senegalus as palmas....

Next time you go there ask them what they are smoking and that they shouldn't really lie about the fish species just to make an extra buck....

True, it's a shame more biologists don't run pet stores. Their passion for the animals and their knowledge would really show in the quality of their store.
