About the references vs. external links, I removed the external links because the references with internet references are just as much references as the book reference, if not more. Fishbase itself is quite a good resource for reference quality information. The citation is in a proper format as a reference too. External links are more for related information, such as the "International Barb Foundation" (not that such a thing actually exists) which may not contain Wikipedia encyclopedia content but may be interesting nonetheless. -- Ram-Man 12:26, May 26, 2004 (UTC)
In order to conform with the style guides prescribed by Wikipedia:WikiProject_Fishes which uses Fishbase as the authority for taxonomic classification, I am in the process of adjusting the genera of the species to Puntius, which is how Fishbase is classifying these species.

Added list of species - hopefully this is up to date - if not please tell me. Haven't checked through the list for synonyms etc. Also if a list with linked species names is wanted I can supply that.
Moved mentions of Puntius reclassification to a separate section
The article needs more info on the genus in general - if anyone else is working on this please let me know. Otherwise I'll try to add the 'standard' info eg lengths, breeding, food etc. HappyVR 17:14, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Also have linked to as yet unmade page "Barb (fish species)" this would be a page to deal with fish commonly known as barbs - possibly with emphasis or section on tropical aquarium barbs. The page should contain links to the relevant genera etc. Any ideas? HappyVR 17:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
According to "Catalog of Fishes" the correct author for the genus name Barbus is Daudin, 1805. http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/Ichthyology/catalog/fishcatmain.asp 77.186.55.70 ( talk) 19:40, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
The list of species seems outdated. "Catalog of Fishes" might be a good starting point. http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/Ichthyology/catalog/fishcatmain.asp
