hi all, I am new to ray, I've read stickies, yet I still have questions, so forgive me if its sound too stupid to ask the following questions,
first, what is the different between P13 and P14? is it right that P 13 stands for bigger dots and P 14 stands for smaller dots?
I know the different between Black Diamond and Galaxy ray by looking at their patterns/dots. Yet is the name P13 stands for the black diamond and P 14 stands for galaxy itaituba?
the following pics are taken from the web, I am just using these images to ask questions so that I can understand them,

first image is the galaxy itaituba ray

second image is also named galaxy ray
001-p14 galaxy royal female 27 cm.jpg

so both images above are using the same name 'galaxy', but their dots are different, are they the same species? do they share the same name as P 14?

Lastly, is leopoldi is also being called as P13?

pls help me with these classifications,
cheers

You are correct. galaxy is a name that is given when p14 (itaituba) have lots of spots like a galaxy of stars. The P14 that is on the bottom I would consider a very nice galaxy and the other one I would consider just a plain p14.

Leopoldi are called p13. Black diamonds are considered very nice leopoldi so they are still p13

Long story short the P numbers are designated species. so whenever there is a different number asociated with it they are considered different species.
