If Challenging Existing Classification
Reasons Species Should be Reclassified:	All other Cryptocentrus in the group are currently at B, not C. There's nothing to suggest that this species is any more difficult to rear than the rest, and the listing of C vs. B currently reflects more of the fact that this genus is certainly at the "high end of B", or if you prefer, the very "low end" of C. Given that C ought to perhaps be more things like Firefish which have yet to be even reared, I'm thinking these are all B in the end.
