Perhaps someone should start a new thread as i don't want to de-rail this thread.
Just to recap: P. synspilus is now classed as a Junior Synonym of P. melanurus, so therefore synspila is no longer a valid species, they are both the same sp.
Please read:
Paraneetroplus synspilus is a Junior Synonym of Paraneetroplus melanurus (Teleostei: Cichlidae)

I'm suprised no one has picked up the latest development seeing how popular this particular cichlid is on the forum.

ok now I'm confused, is it synspilum or melanuru? I find pictures of fish that look like mine when I google either of those
Googling pictures is a useless tool imo as allsorts of photos can come up. They are now classed as the same fish. Melanurus was described first (Günther, 1860), so therefore melanurus will take preference over synspilus.
You can now say that you have gained a new species over night.
I think if we need to dabate further, perhaps we should start a new thread as not to spoil this one.
