um... doesn't that just look like modified danio rerio's? I don't get where they came up with that scientific name, it looks a hell of a lot like a danio

You would think African newspapers would know the name of their own indigenous fish! Here is an article with the correct information:

Don't know why the P. nyererei cichlids got interjected in there...maybe they are trying to take credit for the location of the zebra danios, since they are actually from the Himalayas?

so thats why the british heart foundation had a zebra danio in it xB lol

Oh, Mother of the Earth!!! What the article says is true about investigations that have been realized with the zebra danio (Brachydanio rerio) for a long time. Now, saying that this fish is from Lake Victoria and that its scientific name is P. nyererei, that's a gigantic shame; LOL!!!!

I don't know whether to giggle or go on a tirade about the stupidity of fact checkers and editors everywhere.
