    Other new and as yet unclassified species found included a variety of tentacled armored catfish, whose tangle of spiky protuberances on its mouth and forehead -- looking like a punk rocker's hairstyle -- has earned it the name of "punk" fish.

    not sure if it is such a fuss, think they're just using the "new" species to try to get protection for the forest and watershed. there are a ton of undescribed and unnamed species from South America and South-east Asia that no scientist has the time and budget to write up and publish. just look at the number of Betta sp. and Parosphromenus sp. alone there are more than 10

    if they had found a new ORDER of fish then that would be news.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
