Hamilton, 1822
Max length300mm SL12in SLTank180 × 60cm72 × 24inTemp20–28°C68–82°FpH7.5–9.0D. polota is sometimes referred to as D. quadrifasciatus (Sevastianov, 1809) but the original name of the latter, Chaetodon quadrifasciatus Sevastianov, 1809, is a junior primary homonym of the older Chaetodon quadrifasciatus Bloch & Schneider 1801, thus Coius polota Hamilton, 1822 takes precedence.
Macropodus spechtiBlack Paradise Fish
Schreitmüller, 1936
Max length80mm SL3.1in SLTank80 × 30cm31 × 12inTemp20–30°C68–86°FpH6.0–8.0M. spechti is also sometimes referred to as M. concolor, particularly in older literature. A dispute regarding conservation of that name was resolved by the ICZN in 2006, however, since M. concolor Ahl, 1937 is a junior primary homonym of M. concolor Schreitmüller, 1936 and thus permanently invalid.
