Every now and then I will hear someone mention some "common name" for a
fish that simply does not ring a bell and is not cross-listed in my
loose-leaf version of Axelrod et al's "Exotic Tropical Fishes."

Has anyone out there seen a textfile/database/whatever listing various
common names of tropical aquarium fish with their scientific name?  I
realize that no such list would be "complete."  However, even one with 50%
of the various names crosslisted with scientific names would be useful.
