That is because when the "figure out which species this common name belongs to", it picks the first one it finds (T. brunnea is first in alphabetical order). I think the solution is to have scientific name column also be a link, so if you want a specific species with several fish with the same common name, you can click there. I think that's pretty easy to add, so I will attempt that today.

Indeed, it was very easy to do... I've submitted a fix for Jools to copy to the real site.

@Jools: R1081.

Yes, just waiting for Jools to get round to uploading it. I've also updated a load of pictures and datasheets for Aquatic Republic, so he may be busy with that (or busy with something else, he does have a life besides Planet Catfish and AR, you know... ;) [Unlike me...] )

Shouldn't matter. You are clicking on the "new" scientific name link to the right of the common name, right?
