I was having fun with "cruciatus" being part of the scientific name. One of the Unforgivable Curses, ya know?
Yunnanilus is what I meant, I don't know why their species is tortured nor am I enough of a Harry Potter geek to have gotten it, lol.
I've seen those before, I think when cruising around Rachel's site. Look interesting but the main reason I even switched stocking ideas was because I wanted sids.
Sadly, I'm not a Harry Potter geek, either. I've read the books, have seen only a couple of the movies (not because they're not entertaining, just.... because), but have this weird (and almost entirely useless) ability to pull random things out of random references into conversation.
And, this is going to sound much more dismissive than I intend, but scientific names are hard. I think it's primarily because Latin isn't a native, primary, or secondary language for most people, so weird syllables and phonemes make it harder to get them consistently right. However, you were close enough that when I threw it into Google, it came back with the correct name and fish, so don't sweat it.
Got a TDS meter for my CPs. Aquarium tests out just over 300 ppm. Tap is 195...RO water from my LFS? 210!
Not very happy about that...

Whoa, that's higher than my iron rich well water! Not off to a good start new LFS. My RO water comes out at 2-3 TDS with no DI treatment.
