Classification of fish can be a tricky thing, that's for sure, and we can see that by the ever changing names of fish, I find it mainly to be cichlids, as families of cichlids can be quite similar.
I am curious to know who decides weather a fish should be reclassified as a species?
The reclassification of many cichlids for example is based on studies of the species involved, but it probably has to go through some sort of board or something where researchers present their work and why the species should be decided?
Can someone shed a light on how the process of reclassification of different types of fish is put into action?
