[edit] Rasbora borapetensis
The common name in the text is different to the picture caption.

[edit] Article title
Would this article be better served by moving it to Rasborinae, the subfamily name for many of the species called "Rasbora"? I can understand the common naming convention, but if you're looking for a taxonomic treatment, which is the bulk of the article cobbled together from several genera across two subfamilies and one unclassified genus. I would then make Rasbora about the genus Rasbora with a link to the disambig page, Rasbora (disambiguation), at the top. The disambig page would contain links to the subfamily, Rasbora, Boraras, Microrasbora, and Trigonostigma. Seems a much better arrangement than this. Alternatively, Rasbora could be an article describing the common name and the species in the aquarium trade while Rasbora (genus) would be the taxonomic treatment of the genus. That's the way we do it with cultivated plants at WP:PLANTS (see example: Coffee and Coffea arabica). Thoughts? --Rkitko (talk) 08:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
