Reason: Setting up a tree for Carangiform fish following Eschmeyer's taxonomy.

Tree:

• carangiform
• carangoid
• carangid
• jack_(fish)
• pompano
• trevally
• cobia
• dolphinfish
• mahi-mahi
• remora
• centropomoid
• barracuda
• latid
• barramundi
• nile_perch
• snook_(fish)
• menoid
• billfish
• marlin
• swordfish
• moonfish
• pleuronectoid
• flatfish
• flounder
• halibut
• turbot
• toxotoid
• archerfish
• roosterfish

mahi-mahi is definitely the most commonly accepted name for that fish in english, why change the tag name?

I always thought of dolphinfish as being the 'standard' name, but I see that the wikipedia page is titled mahi-mahi so fair enough.

(there's another species of dolphinfish as well, so implying mahi-mahi and the other one to dolphinfish makes the most sense I think)

Most of this looks fine. Only issues:
- You made a mistake in the first BUR, currently carangid implies carangiform, it should imply carangoid
- Pleuronectoid and Flatfish should be aliased together. All pleuronectoids are flatfish as far as I am aware

Not quite: Threadfins are pleuronectoids but not flatfish (though I kinda doubt there will ever be any art of them here).

They're kinda weird taxonomically. Some sources have them in their own suborder, I didn't realize Eschmeyer's included them under pleuronectoidei. In that case yeah, the tag order makes sense.
