[edit]

This species doesn't exist. The fish was initially described as Galaxias rekohua (Chatham galaxias) but was later revised into Neochanna, which there is a Wikipedia page for: Chatham mudfish. References supporting the revised placement can be found on the Chatham mudfish page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StellaMcQ (talkcontribs) 11:39, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While it's true the species is not a valid one, there's a case to be made for explaining clearly what it really is and how it was reassigned (I've had a go), because for 10 years the name was in use, and someone might come across it and want more information. It's also possible, of course, to fold this information into Neochanna rekohua and set up a redirect. Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 04:24, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A merge has been proposed on the Neochanna rekohua talk page. StellaMcQ (talk) 03:10, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
