Out of curiosity, why are all the keepers of this fish listed under Kryptopterus aff. minor instead of Kryptopterus minor?

I'm the only one under Kryptopterus minor.

Since it's very likely that you have K. aff. minor, I have re-assigned your fish as that.

I have also submitted an update for the data sheet of K. minor to explain what we're doing.

Thanks for pointing out that it needed doing...

And just as we've done that, it's been published with a new name...
