Sanman Sanman - Here's a size chart that's been put into this forum previously with sizes WC vs. CB. The only thing I don't like about the chart is the common names first - people use too many different common names. In this forum you'll most likely see the scientific names used. Except Golddust. People love calling the Buettikoferis golddust. Probably because it's hard to remember how to spell Buettikoferi LOL.

There is a great sticky up top in the forum on the different species, with nice info on each, a video, and updates that have been made scientifically as far as families and names.

- P. Weeksii
- p. Ornatipinnis
- P. Teugelsi

- P. Senegalus Meridonales (giant subspecies of senegals, so maybe it should be "Big 4" ;)
