Common Name
[edit]Hi - re: the use of common name "poor man's Tropheus" over "Neetroplus". I think this is an ambiguous common name and it's certainly not universal. In Australia, many cichlid hobbyists would have never heard of it and refer to the fish as Neets. I propose that the "common name" policy should only apply where the common name is used unambigously and near universally in english speaking countries eg: convict cichlid, oscar, jack dempsey. In cases such as this the genus name, in my opinion, would be better. I would like to propose we therefore move this page to Neetroplus and redirect the common name to the genus name. Thoughts?

I think neet is much more universally used as the common name for this fish. I have also seen other names used.Rlendog (talk) 17:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Scientific Name
[edit]Is the reclassification to Hypsophrys universally recognized, or is just a proposal in one paper? The one paper I saw referencing the proposed reclassfication also suggest several other new names - such as for convict cichlids - that are not reflected in Wikipedia either.Rlendog (talk) 17:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Rift lakes?
[edit]Lake Managua is not described as a rift lake in its article, and neither is Lake Nicaragua. (The two other lakes mentioned are red links.) Many East African cichlids live in rift lakes (e.g. Lake Malawi), but I haven't heard CA lakes described as such before. - Soulkeeper (talk) 11:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- I've removed the reference to these being "rift" lakes. Rlendog (talk) 16:13, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
