Feel free to compare the body shape etc yourself. No one is doubting that the fish you have is commonly being sold in the US as Mbipia cf lutea "Yala Swamp" crossbar. This forum is all about sharing experiences and opinions.

I would imagine that the Victorians species classifications generate even more diverse opinions. But in the end, those doing the scientific studies tend to respect other opinions. I know that Greg Steeves and Samaki respect each others opinions and we only ask that the posters in this tread do the same.
