Taxonomic Issues
The name Oreichthys umangii under which it was known in the aquarium trade, is not an available scientific name under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, and must not be used as such. The name was introduced in an aquarium book (Tekriwal et al., 1995), but without accompanying description, and was intended to honor Umang Tekriwal (1975-11-14 to 1996-04-19), son of Ornamental Aquarium Fishes of India co-author Kishori Tekriwal.
