Sure there is http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/spe ... ies_id=168

I believe the prevailing thinking on the 98 is it is, at best, a variant of the zebra and not a distinct species on its own.

If one looks around the net, you will find something interesting regarding 46, 98 and 173. Most sites now list 46 and 98 as the same fish with 98 having a more wavy pattern. However, some sites add the 173 as being another form of zebra like the 98. However, on this site, 173 is considered not to be a zebra variant.

From my own limited experience I have noticed that a small number of my zebras have a more wavy pattern, and this is also common in the fry I have raised. My personal feeling, as a result of what I saw in my tanks, has been that the 98 was not a distinct species but a zebra variant .

I also agree with the information here on PC regarding 173. Even zebras I have have had since 2004 are not as large as the adult 173s (or 173bs) I have.

Finally, I would say that, compared to many of the members here, my opinions should carry a lot less weight.

Thank you for your answer to the point, is also very eager thumb up for you. My own understanding: L173 and L46 really does not belong to a species, it prefer to from the maze to L46 an intermediate process during the process of evolution, biological evolution is very interesting. Just information about L98 is really let a person very dizzy. Finally, thank you very much for your answer. :-BD
