Links from common names

They seem to be broken. For instance if you look at G, Gold laser Corydoras, the link takes you to Hemiancistrus subviridis.

Are you sure it wasn't a green laser you were looking at? Because the gold laser lead to a .

It appears to me that all "similar name" ones lead to the same species, e.g."Golden redtail catfish" leads to the same place as "Golden line pleco".

It seems like all common names that start with the same firt word (e.g. Green, Golden, Giant) lead to the fish with the lowest ID number.

Nah, the bug was making the selection go to the first species with the first word of the common name. So Giant Zebra went to Giant Apple for example. This bug was introduced by some search engine optimisation work I did at the weekend.

It means, however, you can type www.planetcatfish.com/oil catfish ,or the like, into your browser address bar and it will work. This is quite clever.

Anyway, bug Fixed.
