What's it's Common name? Whilst I understand the need for the latin names (scientifically), I think in a day to day context it's a little pretentious to use it. Also how many folks on here actually speak Latin?

this is why we use latin names, to cut through common names as some fish have dozens for a single specimen.

Yes I know this, but since latin is not a native language (okay I took it at school 10 years ago for a year) it's hard to spell and confusing. Common names at least, okay sometimes there are 2-3, at least it's english...

I personally would want a latin name FIRST than a common name.. its lazy me
googling up a latin name is soooooo much faster than googling up a common name that would just take too much detective work.
google + latin name = happy lazy me.
sold it to my friend a while back.He would hide 99 percent of the time,not my thing.He is doing well at my friends.
