PS Ingo Hahn is a great guy--his actual specialty is not fish he likes birds and ants we call him Ingo the "Ant Man" he once stayed on an island in the Gallapagos chain for a year studying birds and ate nothing but wild goat. I have seen him grab a 12 pack and sit in a lawn chair for hours watching an ant hill:-(

well that's too bad. I kinda liked the name Inca. Perhaps Inca will turn out to be the common name?

Oh boy all that work too! Mike I think the name Inka will kind of stick so dont worry, Besides look at it this way---you like the atlases right? well whats wtong with honoring the guy who publishes them?? I'll tell Uwe to name the next one cootwarmi will that make you happier?

At the rate they keep discovering more species of apistos, we could all probably name one! :lol:

baenschi is fine with me, but how do you pronounce it?
It makes it hard to tell folks what you got! Not too hard to type though. :wink:
