This "Group and Complex" thing is confusing me. I see conflicting info Between my Book "Mergus Cichlid atlas Vol 1" and some info on this site.
For example - A sp "Papagei" is A. cruzi in the Eunotus complex in Mergus Cichlid atlas, but here you have it as the "regani group" and the "pebas" complex
Furthermore I am confused why one species would belong to another species group or complex. If they are a different species then they are a different species. What happened to the practice of sub species or just giving different groups or complexes different genus names?
I have been keeping these fish for awhile now and never cared about this nomeclature as long as I was raising fish to spawn and sell, but it seems like I get asked more and more. Perhaps someone can guide me to a web site or explain this confusion away
