@Whispyhistory: Thank you for the reviews. I have replaced the original hook and put your version as ALT1. I prefer mine because it will hopefully hook people in who wonder how the fish with a simple common name could be named after this man. Also, I am not bothered about using the image - wait for my candy striped flatworm, coming soon! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:32, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
