green terror-gold saum

This isn't really mislabeled, it's just a common name that can be given to more then one fish (Gold Suam/Silver Suam/Stalsbergi).

Sabertooth/vampire tetra......There are three or four different fish that are lumped together under this name and the stores in this area that do carry them only use this name no matter which ones they have.
