Pethia canius
Hamilton, 1822
Max length30mm SL1.2in SLTank60 × 30cm24 × 12inTemp18–24°C64–75°FpH6.0–7.0This species' identity was settled and a neotype designated by Knight (2013), with its validity having been discussed since the late 19th century. P. canius and the closely-related P. gelius were both described by Hamilton (1822) and share the type locality of 'northeastern Bengal'. Although Hamilton did not provide drawings M'Clelland (1839) included colour illustrations depicting two quite different-looking species.
Pethia geliusGolden Dwarf Barb
Hamilton, 1822
Max length40mm SL1.6in SLTank60 × 30cm24 × 12inTemp18–24°C64–75°FpH6.0–7.0This species' identity was settled and a neotype designated by Knight (2013) who also revalidated the congener P. canius (Hamilton, 1822) and described the closely-related P. aurea. These three had previously been considered to represent geographic forms of P. gelius, albeit on a tentative basis, with the validity of P. canius having been discussed since the late 19th century.
