C 154 and CW027

PC lists these as the same species. Is there agreement on that? I need more 154 to get a breeding group

I suspect not the same. You'll also see there is a separate page for C154 (but without a photo). My interpretation is that cw027 has been sold in some instances as c154, but real c154 is not the same.

Keep in mind also that the two are not analyzed yet by scientists, so who knows how closely they are related genetically. They look similar to each other but are distinguished by slight color pattern differences. But are they one species? Until that's done, the identities won't be resolved.

Cheers, Eric
