Taxonomic identifications and wild populations are distinct from commercial lines. Aquapedia marks uncertainties and never invents pedigrees, awards or collection localities.
Identity
Scleropages inscriptus was described from specimens attributed to the Tanintharyi basin of Myanmar. It is not a simple Chili Red or golden color grade.
Geographic evidence
The original description and type locality provide a taxonomic foundation, but current population coverage and precise collection sites should not be inferred from market photographs.
Conservation and legality
International trade protection and nomenclature must be checked against the current official CITES interpretation before purchase guidance is given. Conservation research and verified locality evidence are limited.
Research sources
Sources support the relevant claims discussed above; unresolved local records remain under review.
