Labeobarbus acutirostris is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Labeobarbus which is endemic to Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
Lake Tana is the largest lake in Ethiopia and the source of the Blue Nile. Located in Amhara Region in the north-western Ethiopian Highlands, the lake is approximately 84 kilometres long and 66 kilometres wide, with a maximum depth of 15 metres, and an elevation of 1,788 metres. Lake Tana is fed by the Gilgel Abay, Reb and Gumara rivers. Its surface area ranges from 3,000 to 3,500 square kilometres, depending on season and rainfall. The lake level has been regulated since the construction of the control weir where the lake discharges into the Blue Nile. This controls the flow to the Blue Nile Falls and hydro-power station.
The striped boarfish, also known as whiskered boarfish, Japanese boarfish, sailfin armourhead or whiskered armorhead, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, an armourhead of the family Pentacerotidae, which is native to the Pacific Ocean from the Hawaiian Islands westward to the coast of Asia and Australia. This is a reef-dwelling fish found at depths between 18 and 193 m. It can reach a total length of 90 cm (35 in). It is currently the only known member of the genus Evistias.
Labeobarbus alluaudi is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It has been found only in three rivers in Uganda. Some taxonomic authorities consider tis species to be a hybrid of Labeobarbus somereni and Labeobarbus ruwenzorii.
The Ripon barbel is an East African ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. A notably large barb, its maximum recorded total length is 90 cm (35 in).
Labeobarbus johnstonii is a species of cyprinid fish. It has long been placed in Barbus, the "wastebin genus" for barbs, by default, and this is still being done by the IUCN. However, the species is increasingly being restored to related yellowfish genus Labeobarbus which seems a much more appropriate placement. It is presumably hexaploid like the other yellowfish. The supposed subspecies latirostris of its relative L. intermedius is actually misidentified L. johnstonii.
Pterocapoeta maroccana is a species of cyprinid fish. It is found only in Morocco.
Labeobarbus is a mid-sized ray-finned fish genus in the family Cyprinidae. Its species are widely distributed throughout eastern Africa and especially southern Africa, but also in Lake Tana in Ethiopia. A common name, in particular for the southern species, is yellowfish. The scientific name refers to the fact that these large barbs recall the fairly closely related "carps" in the genus Labeo in size and shape. As far as can be told, all Labeobarbus species are hexaploid.
Labeobarbus longissimus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Labeobarbus which is endemic to Lake Tana in Ethiopia.

Labeobarbus microterolepis is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Labeobarbus. It is endemic to Ethiopia. It may also be a hybrid of Labeobarbus ethiopicus and Labeobarbus intermedius.
The rhinofish is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. Its taxonomic identity is not entirely clear. Some taxonomic authorities consider Labeobarbus mariae as the rhinofish, however Fishbase identifies the range of L. mariae as occurring in Guinea. Rhinofish appear to occur in Kenya, as the range seems not to be in dispute. Further clarification is needed on both species.
Labeobarbus matris is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Labeobarbus which is endemic to the Athi River in Kenya. It may be conspecific with Labeobarbus mariae.
