Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fishes/to do

• Standardize on class Actinopterygii, not Osteichthyes (see Special:Whatlinkshere/Osteichthyes)
• Of Argentinidae:
  • Expand Argentina silus -- Greater Argentine
  • Argentina sphyraena -- Argentina (fish)
• Of Chimaera:
  • Elephantfish, Callorhinchus callorynchus (image:Callorhinchus callorynchus.jpg)

What does this mean: "Standardize on class Actinopterygii (not Osteichthyes): Chimaera"? Chimaera is not in either Actinopterygii or Osteichthyes. Koumz (talk) 22:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Almost no info about wild guppies on Wikipedia!

I noticed what seems to be a crying need on Wikipedia and write this here today to ask you to fill this gap. While I gather that there have been enough studies on the subject of wild guppies, the article Guppy knows practically nothing about them; almost the entire article is about the domesticated strains. What of their life in the wild? How different are they from the more familiar domesticated strains? What do they eat, how have they evolved, what predators do they have, and what of their place in their native ecosystem? Eventually, there might be enough to split the articles and allow one to consentrate on the aquarium fish and another about their wild cousins. In addition, I have seen on Google Scholar studies done about feral guppies, another thing the article knows nothing about. Guppy is a pretty good article about an aquarium fish, but that's not all guppies are. Thanks! Chrisrus (talk) 05:33, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Expand Article Request

I started an article on Lucania goodei and would like it to be added to the list of articles that need to be expanded.Mmyers1976 (talk) 15:26, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Oncorhynchus (pacific salmon) article needs work

I was reading this article today and it is missing a section about the biology and ecology of the fish. For such an important fish it seems like a large omission. Also there are several typos, etc. The article mostly focuses on conservation and threats to the species. If you look at the one on atlantic salmon for example, it is of much higher quality and much more complete.

New images of Lethrinus spp. and Gymnocranius spp. (Lethrinidae)

Just uploaded a series of photographs of several species of Lethrinus and Gymnocranius, including several recently (2010 and 2013) described species. A good opportunity for ichthyologists who want to create new pages. Jeanloujustine (talk) 21:14, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
