Garra palaniensis is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra endemic to India. [2] It is sometimes placed in the genus Garra.
Garra is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae. These fish are one example of the "log suckers", sucker-mouthed barbs and other cyprinids commonly kept in aquaria to keep down algae. The doctor fish of Anatolia and the Middle East belongs in this genus. The majority of the more than 160 species of garras are native to Asia, but about one-fifth of the species are from Africa.
Garra klatti, also known as the Isparta minnow or Anatolian golden barb, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra. It is found in the Lake Işıklı basin in the Büyük Menderes drainage in Turkey. There is some confusion regarding the identity of this fish. This poorly known species is closely related to Garra kemali, and likely should be placed in that genus.
Garra widdowsoni, commonly known as the Iraq blind barb or Haditha cave garra, is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to underground water systems near Haditha in Iraq. Although traditionally placed in its own genus Typhlogarra, this is not supported by genetic evidence, leading to its move to genus Garra. This cavefish is considered critically endangered because of water extraction, which has lowered the groundwater level. Once abundant, a survey in 2012 found that it now was very rare. Another species from the same place, Caecocypris basimi, may already be extinct. The only other known cavefish in Iraq is Eidinemacheilus proudlovei.

The species is known only from the type specimen which was collected in the 1960s from a hill stream in Nan Pan Jiang, Yiliang County, Yunnan Province and was formally described in 1977. It may be a disjunct population of Garra poilanei and more research is needed.
Horalabiosa is a disputed genus of cyprinid fish found only in India. There are currently two described species in this genus, although it is usually regarded as a synonym of Garra.
Garra arunachalami is a species of fish that was described by J.A. Johnson and Soranam (2001). It is included in the genus Garra and the carp family.
