Do you think you could move some photos with his permission? Dog knows, you've probably covered them all by now. Amazing work - keep it up!

I think I had a brain fart I couldn't find much on it, and that's because once I searched in a different way, I came up with the current name to get the Fishbase entry. Good thing you questioned it or I would have forgotten.

NAME CHANGE - NAME CHANGE Isn't it a fantastic fish? NAME CHANGE - NAME CHANGE

Not forgotten Mark.

Jim and I have been discussing this. I've mailed with Zhou Hang before and he's a really nice guy. My plan was to get the existing index replaced with these new entries, plus adding new species that we've accumulated pictures for............and then to approach Zhou Hang with basically a "shopping list" of species pictures we would like to use because it can substantially expand our covered species.

The only bad thing is that it will frustrate Emma even more to know she can't import half of them

Zhou Hang is a buddy of Nonn's and I think (hope) may be very helpful.
The overly dark photos aren't a problem. I have vays of mekkink them vizzible
