If Challenging Existing Classification
Reasons Species Should be Reclassified:

If Requesting New Classification
Research or Links to information on Species:	Newly defined species - the splitting of A. akallopsisos into two species based largely on geographical origins (A. akallopisos is now only from the Indian Ocean). Of special note, this does create a problem for anyone breeding A. akallopisos who does not know the collecting origin of their fish, as they now don't know which species they in fact have. I wonder if there is some way to flag this species with a special note regarding that?
