Good to know that you are a professional and appreciate your knowledge.... cannot get enough of your knowledge!! As me also being a fish crazy person ❤🎉... Also want to know if plural form of fish is fish or fishes?

[@FreshwaterIchthyology]

Thank you :) Fishes for multiples of different species, fish for many of the same species.

It would be cool to hear more about the evolution of these genuses and how that lead to so much diversity overall. Like can we understand the ancestor of all Ancistrus for example?

Could you sketch out the family trees/groupings of your theories? I agree with the snowballs and hemis and others actually being the same species, it’d just be nice to have the visual😅

I might do a video on that at some point, that's an interesting idea. I do have a video going through the published molecular phylogenies but they don't include L471 or L201.
