So, did Bob pickup those Astatheros sp. 'Madeup' at the same time? I wonder who came up with the name (see the "Another NEW Species" thread). At least you'd think they'd straighten out the fenestratus catemaco piebald name (assuming, as you do, that there are at least three species covered by the LFS label pictured above).
The whole situation smacks of someone misleading another. If Bob is making all this crap up and coming up with his own names for Conkel fish, Don should be upset.
Looks like it could be but looks different than mine.....
I have regular Fen's from Rapps that always show vertical bars & horizontal bars
(these are from a different location), I also have all three of Conkels fenestratus...
the regular's from Don have a horizontal bar but no vertical bars, ever....
the shape is the same but patterns and colors are very different.....
the Contemaco ones are very white with a blood spot on the check and the pie balds
IMO are the nicest with a rainbow of colors but the colors change and fade(either better or worse as they get older).....I am very happy, so far but the question is....
(I am not a hybrid guy) who to breed with who if they are the same species, which I think they are???????? Should be fun.....Nice fish.........

I honestly think they will do what they do with African Cichlids, which is just add the collection point onto the end of the name so people know what they are buying.

you get the picture, this way people know what they are getting.
And to be honest with you I feel this fish is just a fenestratus and this Conkel guy whoever he is (yes i've never heard of him until this week) is just naming fish after himself for his own gain and misleading buyers
