Labeo angra is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. It is commonly known as the Angra labeo. [1] It is native to Asia, where it is distributed in Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, and Pakistan. [1] It has also been reported from Afghanistan. [2]
This fish has been known to reach a maximum length of around 22 centimeters. [2] It is an herbivorous freshwater fish that can be found in several habitat types, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds. [1]
This species is of commercial importance as a food and sport fish. [2] It has become very rare in the Hakaluki Haor wetlands of eastern Bangladesh, [1] and the construction of a dam on the Tinau River of Nepal has interrupted its migration activity there, [3] but in general it is common and not considered threatened.
