Since Anton lamboj through DNA analysis has indicated these two are not valid forms and he is excluding them from his reclassification of the Pel. taeniatus group, what should we do as hobbyist? I have even informed the local wholesaler not to bring in the WC specimens. I know Ted had decided not to distribute them. As they are not hybrids and not valid color morphs, they are more or less in a 'Twiligh light zone'.

I would call them tank strain P. taeniatus. They are still pretty fish, and if a person is looking for a pretty west African dwarf cichlid and does not give a hoot about provenance, there is no reason not to keep them.
