Which one is the real chocolate raphael?

Hi, I saw in the cat-a-log that you guys have two different cats using the common name "chocolate talking catfish" . Which one is it? To make things confusing I thought I'd let you know that here in sweden the striped raphael is sold as a chocolate raphael and that's from respectable dealers here!

Both of them are. Which is why common names shouldn't be used.
