Hara sillaungi?

Post by TalenT »

The name in the subject, "Hara sillaungi", is copy-pasted from an importer's online fishlist, they are listed as Wild Caught.

Do anyone here have some info on this species? It seems hard finding anything useful about it on the internet.

The name is a mispelling of H. sittaungi (which BTW is also not a valid name). I am guessing that the name is probably derived from the fact that these are Hara caught in the Sittaung (=Sittang) River. This means that it is very likely to be
Hara filamentosa
.
