Altigena tonkinensis is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae native to the Red River basin in China and Vietnam. This species was formerly the only member of the monospecific genus Vinalabeo. [3]
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family, including the carps, the true minnows, and their relatives the barbs and barbels, among others. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family, and the largest vertebrate animal family overall, with about 3,000 species; only 1,270 of these remain extant, divided into about 200 valid genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm (0.5 in) in size to the 3 m (9.8 ft) giant barb. By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word kyprînos.
Cyprinus is the genus of typical carps in family Cyprinidae. Most species in the genus are of East Asia origin with only the common carp in Western Asia and Europe; this invasive species has also been introduced to many other regions around the world. Cyprinus are closely related to some more barb-like genera, such as Cyclocheilichthys and Barbonymus (tinfoils). The crucian carps (Carassius) of western Eurasia, which include the goldfish, are apparently not as closely related.
The red-tailed black shark, also known as the redtail shark and redtail sharkminnow, is a species of freshwater fish in the carp family, Cyprinidae. Despite its name, it is more closely related to carp. It is endemic to Thailand and currently critically endangered, but common in aquaria, where it is prized for its deep black body and vivid red or vivid orange tail. The red-tailed black sharks seen in the aquarium trade today are all captive bred.
Hemiculter elongatus is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Cultrinae subfamily of the family Cyprinidae. It is known only from the Ky Cùng River in Lang Son Province, northern Vietnam. It was originally described by Nguyen & Ngo in 2001.
Luciobarbus magniatlantis, the Tensift riffle barbel, is a species in the family Cyprinidae. It is native to the Tensift River catchment of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. However, it has been extirpated from the Rheraya River in the middle of its range, which has led to two isolated sub-populations.
Fuxian Lake is a body of water in Yunnan Province, China. It stretches through Chengjiang, Jiangchuan and Huaning Counties, spanning an area of 212 square kilometers. It is the third-largest lake in Yunnan, after Dian Lake and Erhai Lake, and the deepest, at 155 meters. It is the third-deepest fresh water lake in China, after Tianchi and Kanas Lake.
Labeoninae is a doubtfully distinct subfamily of ray-finned fishes in the family Cyprinidae of order Cypriniformes. They inhabit fresh water and the largest species richness is in the region around southern China, but there are also species elsewhere in Asia, and some members of Garra and Labeo are from Africa. They are a generally very apomorphic group, perhaps the most "advanced" of the Cyprinidae. A common name for these fishes is labeonins or labeoins.
The largescale silver carp is a freshwater fish in the carp family Cyprinidae. It is native to Hainan and Vietnam.
Placocheilus bibarbatus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Placocheilus from Vietnam.
Cyclocheilichthys janthochir is a species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is endemic to southwestern Borneo in Kalimantan (Indonesia) where it occurs in highly acidic blackwater streams and pools in peat swamp forests. It feeds on aquatic insects.
Bangana is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. It is distributed across much of southern and eastern Asia. Species live mainly in the flowing waters of tropical and subtropical rivers.
Altigena elegans is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in the Nam Theun basin in Laos.
Gobiobotia longibarba is a species of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is endemic to China.

Xenocypris macrolepis, also known as the yellowfin, is a species of fish in the Cyprinidae family. The fish is found in the Amur River and Vietnam. The fish is usually 10 cm (3.9 in) long (SL), the largest specimen of the fish ever recorded was 34.6 cm (13.6 in) long (SL).
Altigena laticeps is a species of cyprinid fish found in the Upper Mekong River basin in China. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Altigena tonkinensis.
Altigena is a genus of cyprinid freshwater fish found in the continental part of South East Asia. This genus was resurrected from Bangana by Maurice Kottelat in 2017.
