There seem to be a lot of confusion in these terms lately and everything is everything. People are naming for example sp terengannu sp sampit, sp sentarum and lately I even seen people naming ori or not ori.
Lets clear the air
sp -
sp means an unidentified species yet to be proven, Borneo is where the fish is found hence sp Borneo.
sp lets think of it as (Species Problem), sp will refer to the spp of a certain species but undetermined, for example Channa sp. Borneo from the channa spp. So sp means the fish is suspect to be a different species but unproven. It looks like a channa marulioides but the pattern, shape, characters, fin count, scale count or something is very different. We shall wait for scientific evidence to prove if it is indeed a different species. So in the mean time we name it Channa sp.Borneo.
sp Borneo refers to a channa that is typically red in color and stout body.
var -
var means the same species but from a certain location, something identifiable.
Var, Variant means literally variant, Channa Marulioides var. Terengganu or Channa Marulioides var. Kalimantan means it is a channa marulioides but this fish may have something different, nice consistence batik pattern on the fin or extra flowers, bigger head, consistent pattern that is different from the rest. Something you can ID and we call it var.
There are many who for the sake of making money will give fancy names, var Perlis var Kedah but the fish look exactly the same as anything else, cases like this you know they are out to make money. The fish may come from Kedah but it is not a var because you cannot ID it. Then it is just a channa marulioides that comes from Kedah end of story.
But some Marulioides from certain states do have something different and consistent where you can ID the fish hence we have them var Terengganu or var kalimantan var Thai.
ORI -
I dont know what the fuck is ori.
---------------------------
Something to confuse you further, Channa sp. Borneo var Sampit
This means channa sp. Borneo that is located in Sampit and surrounding area which is identifiable
with its wide 5 or 6 band.
