Book review: Brackish water fishes
I cannot believe that this book review failed to catch the egregious errors in mislabeling the catfish images. What is labeled as Ictalurus punctatus on pages 290–291 is actually Hexanematichthys seemanni and what is labeled as Mystus gulio on pages 294–295 is actually Sperata aor (hardly a brackish water fish).
I think this should be added in the review somewhere. Another example of TFH at their finest.

Re: Book review: Brackish water fishes
Hmmm, just saw this...that was my first attempt at something like this and I now know to check things out a little better.
I could write up an amendment to clear this up.

Yes, I think that wouldn't be a bad idea and it would help me out.
