Aphyocypris moltrechti, Moltrecht's minnow, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies. [2] This species is endemic to Taiwan. It was formerly considered to be the only species in the genus Pararasbora. The Endemic Species Research Institute [3] under the Council of Agriculture [4] of the Executive Yuan in Taiwan has enlisted Aphyocypris moltrechti as "precious and rare species" among other endemic freshwater species. [5]
Named in honor of physician-entomologist Arnold Moltrecht (1873–1952), who collected the type specimen. [6]
Aphyocypris moltrechti is distributed in the middle portion of western Taiwan, where they can be found in Tachia River and Tatu River. [7] Their total body length are usually seen from 4 cm to 8 cm. [7] [8]
Anabarilius polylepis s a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies. This species is endemic to Yunnan, China. It only occurs in Dian Lake and Songhuaba reservoir in Kunming. It was once a major commercial fish species, but it has not been confirmed in the lake since the 1970s. Its decline is attributed to many factors: introduced fish species, decreasing water quality, the loss of macrophytes, over-fishing, and the loss of breeding sites due to siltation and blocked access.
