What's your view on the current placement of Hara and species HH? Fishbase appears to say:

Erethistes hara
Erethistes horai
Erethistes jerdoni
Erethistes serratus

Hara longissima
Hara mesembrina
Hara minuscula
Hara serratus
Hara spinulus

Me to HH ??

Dr Page informed me that ASCI has accepted the use of Erethistes in place of Hara. Dr Page went on also to inform me that for the present Erethistidae have now been placed back into Sisoridae...

Yes, well, I guess I need to move all Hara into their new home then...

Silurus - this fish looks very similar to H. spinulus in body shape and the short dorsal fin. I know comparisons are made in the description as well as a discussion on the (current) separation of the waters they inhabit, but do you have any views on this?
