:A similar species, ''[[Epalzeorhynchos munense]]'', may be sold under the same common name, the difference being on the pelvic and pectoral fins, on the ''E. munense'' they have black margins. | :A similar species, ''[[Epalzeorhynchos munense]]'', may be sold under the same common name, the difference being on the pelvic and pectoral fins, on the ''E. munense'' they have black margins. | ||
