Hypselobarbus is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae endemic to India.
There are currently 21 recognized species in this genus: [1]
Cypriniformes is an order of ray-finned fish, which includes many families and genera of cyprinid fish, such as barbs, gobies, loaches, botias, and minnows. Cypriniformes is an “order-within-an-order”, placed under the superorder Ostariophysi—which is also made up of cyprinid, ostariophysin fishes. The order contains 11-12 families, over 400 genera, and more than 4,250 named species; new species are regularly described, and new genera are recognized frequently. Cyprinids are most diverse in South and Southeast Asia, but are entirely absent from Australia and South America. At 112 years old, the longest-lived cypriniform fish documented is the bigmouth buffalo.
Puntius is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae native to South Asia and Mainland Southeast Asia, as well as Taiwan.
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.
Neolissochilus is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae native to freshwater habitats in Asia that are often grouped with the mahseers. The largest reach up to 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length, but most species are much smaller.
Psilorhynchus is a genus of fish in the family Psilorhynchidae native to South Asia. This genus is the only member of its family. The members of Psilorhynchus are small benthic fishes which occur in rivers and streams with fast to swift currents, hence they are often referred to as torrent minnows. They are distributed in southern Asia, in the Indo-Burma region and the Western Ghats.
Jae barb or Dja barb,, is a species of cyprinid fish which like other sub-Saharan "barbs" was formerly placed in the genus Barbus, it has now been reallocated to Enteromius.
Hypselobarbus carnaticus, also known as the Carnatic carp, is a species of cyprinid fish from the Western Ghats in India where it inhabits riffles and larger pools in rapidly flowing rivers and streams. It prefers to shelter underneath boulders and overhangs. This species can reach a length of 60 centimetres (24 in) TL and has attained a maximum reported weight of 12 kilograms (26 lb). It is a commercially important fish and is also farmed.
Hypselobarbus thomassi is a critically endangered species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hypselobarbus. It is endemic to the Western Ghats in Karnataka and Kerala, India. This species is potentially a very large fish, growing to 100 cm (39 in) TL, possibly even larger.
Pethia is a genus of small freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae native to South Asia, East Asia and Mainland Southeast Asia. Some species are commonly seen in the aquarium trade. The name Pethia is derived from the Sinhalese "pethia", a generic word used to describe any of several small species of cyprinid fishes. Most members of this genus were included in Puntius, until it was revised in 2012.
Haludaria is a genus of cyprinids native to freshwater habitats in the Western Ghats of India. Originally the genus was named DravidiaPethiyagoda, Meegaskumbura & Maduwage, 2012 which is preoccupied by the dipteran genus DravidiaLehrer, 2010.
Garra magnidiscus is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra. Identified in 2013, Garra m. is found in the Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh where is it is known locally as Ngop. The name magnidiscus refers to a distinctive large adhesive disc found in the posterior region of its mouth.
The humpback mahseer is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the Indian endemic genus Hypselobarbus in the carp and minnow family Cyprinidae.
Garra alticaputus is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra described from the Dikrong River at Boorum village Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, India.
Garra minimus is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra described from the Ranga River, Lower Subansiri District, Arunachal Pradesh, India.
