are both wrong if so cite your sources-Anne

This book from 1978 as the name has changed to Shorthead redhorse so its no longer Northern Redhorse. So im still right.

I hate name changes, I have called Shorthead Redhorse, Northern Redhorse and Shorthead Redhorse depending on present company. Northern Redhorse is more like a regional name.

Name changes just confuse people like Jewfish is now Goliath Grouper, the 4 kinds of Squawfish are now Pikeminnows. The hell with politcally correct.

Scientific names > common names.

no, youre not still right. quit bein a smart___, because i dont find you very funny either. and no, youre NOT "still right." you said they "never existed," there was "never one swimming around" Blah blah blah

[Bottomfeeder]

and teleost is right. even if you dont know sc names is a million times easier to look them up since there are millions of common names but only 1 sc name.

Usually...scientific names do change and some still use old ones. When the shorthead redhorse was called the northern redhorse, it also went by M. aureouim instead of the current M. macrolepidotum. I will definitely agree that scientific names are better, though.
