    oops.. look under sheepshead angel.. think david still has a couple of them in his tank

    and I think u got the scientific name wrong, Pterophyllum leopoldi is not the 'dumerilii' dumerilii is actually P. sp.

    for P. leopoldi search for leopold's Skalar /Angel

    Hahaha... simon, only sheepshead I can find is a marine fish. Anyway, I've found a few common names among the sites I surfed.

    Yeah, I got confused by a site about P.Dumerillii.

    Not much info in the Internet about P. Leopoldi (or by the common names either).

    Speaking of David, haven't seen him much in the forum.

    [] Did some searching around and I have this 2 links to share:
    Touched By Angel's angelfish identification page.
    The Angelfish Forum

    Anyway, from what I gather, the ichthyologists are still debating about the classification of angelfish. Right now there are 3 recognise species: altums, scalare and leopoldi. Breeders and keepers are finding that alot of wild caughts are mislabelled and some do not fit in the accepted descriptions of the 3 species. Dumerilii does not exist as it was classified from a badly preserve altum, but is now still used to wrongly label scalare and leopoldi.

    In case anybody was interested...
