Talk:Siamese algae-eater

Denoting Epalzeorhynchos siamensis or Crossocheilus siamensis is widely misapplied to other species. By ichthyologists to Crossocheilus langei, Crossocheilus atrilimes and an undescribed Crossocheilus species, by the trade additionally to Garra cambodgiensis alias Garra taeniata. Moreover the identity of Crossocheilus oblongus is not clear enough. The information in Fishbase is totally confused. In my opinion, no Epalzeorhynchos siamensis occurs in aquaristics.

Most of the information is about the red algae eater. As the article itself establishes - red algae eaters are often sold as SAEs but are in fact a different species. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.50.17.170 (talk) 19:00, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

The citation to Alfred 1971 appears to be from http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum/showthread.php/65103-Crossocheilus-siamensis-(Common-name-%E2%80%93-Siamese-Algae-Eater)-() which says that it's cited in some other paper and the original couldn't be tracked down.

The article says it eats more algae with age, but as far as I know it's the opposite. It should be reviewed maybe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.52.22.76 (talk) 15:15, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

References

References in general are in a bit of a sad state here.

• Refs 1, 3-5 don't have titles, and no easy way to find them (e.g. that Polish(?) journal doesn't show an author "Niederle" at any time). May need some detective work. Where did these come from?
• No refs for the aquarium section. Some aquarian who knows where to look might take these on.
