Some of these related genera were included in the genus ''Rasbora'' in the past. In a 2007 analysis, ''Rasbora'' was found to not be a monophyletic assemblage. However ''Boraras'' and ''Trigonostigma'' were determined to be monophyletic.Mayden, R.L., Tang, K.L., Conway, K.W., Freyhof, J., Chamberlain, S., Haskins, M. ...

A comprehensive review in 2018 disputed this and only recognized two species, ''R. pallidus'' and ''R. vaterifloris'' (the other two considered junior synonyms). * ''Rasboroides nigromarginatus'' (Meinken, 1957) * '' Rasboroides p ...

Cyprinidae
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family. It includes the carps, the true minnows, and relatives like the barbs and barbels. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family and the largest vertebrate animal family in general with about 3,000 species, of which only 1,270 remain extant, divided into about 370 genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used ...
