Greg,

Would this be an Axanthic and Anerythristic Potter's? I wonder how frequently color mutations are passed off as just being an undescribed species in the trade. Very nice looking fish by the way.

Looks to me like it's missing all but melanin and irridophores. Could be both axanthic and anerythristic. Very cool.

Leonard,

Just wondering, are you going to continue with the e-Zine on your site? I enjoy reading what is there. BTW, the site is very nice.

Thanks Steve. Funny thing is the next article I had lined up was on chromatophores (no joke!) But I've been way too busy at work to keep the site updated. Now that I finally got internet connection and a computer at home, I'll definitely look into doing work for my site again, although I'll probably change the format (that is, write articles when I can instead of commiting to monthly schedules).

In the meanwhile, I'm sure you're aware of www.advancedaquarist.com (far more professional then anything I'd ever have). :p

Thanks for the supportive words. I thought people have but all forgetten about it.
