Laubuka brahmaputraensis, is a cyprinid fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is endemic to the Brahmaputra River in Bangladesh. [1]
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family, including the carps, the true minnows, and their relatives the barbs and barbels, among others. Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family, and the largest vertebrate animal family overall, with about 3,000 species; only 1,270 of these remain extant, divided into about 200 valid genera. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the 3 m (9.8 ft) giant barb. By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word kyprînos.
Osteichthyes, commonly referred to as the bony fish, is a diverse superclass of vertebrate animals that have skeletons primarily composed of bone tissue. They can be contrasted with the Chondrichthyes, which have skeletons primarily composed of cartilage. The vast majority of extant fish are members of Osteichthyes, which is an extremely diverse and abundant group consisting of 45 orders, over 435 families and 28,000 species. It is the largest class of vertebrates in existence today.
Chela is a genus of small cyprinid freshwater fish from South Asia that are closely related to Laubuka.
A fish is an aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animal that lacks limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct related groups. Approximately 95% of living fish species are ray-finned fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, with around 99% of those being teleosts.
Fish measurement is the measuring of individual fish and various parts of their anatomies, for data used in many areas of ichthyology, including taxonomy and fishery biology.
Pescetarianism is the practice of incorporating seafood into an otherwise vegetarian diet. Pescetarians may or may not consume other animal products such as eggs and dairy products. Approximately 3% of adults worldwide are pescetarian, according to 2017–2018 research conducted by data and analytics companies.
Catalog of Fishes is a comprehensive on-line database and reference work on the scientific names of fish species and genera. It is global in its scope and is hosted by the California Academy of Sciences. It has been compiled and is continuously updated by the curator emeritus of the CAS fish collection, William N. Eschmeyer.
Laubuka is a genus of cyprinid fish found in South and Southeast Asia.
The leaping barb or flying minnow, is a species of cyprinid fish found in the Mekong and the Chao Phraya.
The dadio is a cyprinid fish, is rarely seen in the aquarist hobby but is not entirely unlike the Danio nigrofasciatus in appearance. Laubuka dadiburjori is a gold/silver fish with a blue line, it has two colour morphs, one with a distinct blue line, the other with a dotted blue line. Barbels are not present. Like most Danionins, this fish has a tendency to jump. A tight fitting lid with no gaps is recommended. Endemic in India, where both colour morphs co-exist, the fish is found from Tamil Nadu to Goa. It is necessary to avoid making it coexist with big fish which would only make a mouthful of it.
Laubuka insularis, is a cyprinid fish in the family Cyprinidae, which is endemic to island Sri Lanka. It is a freshwater species, that is confined to rivers and streams running through the Knuckles Mountain Range in Sri Lanka.
Laubuka lankensis, also known as the Sri Lanka blue laubuca, is a cyprinid fish species endemic to Sri Lanka. It is a freshwater species widely distributed throughout the lowland dry zone of the island. It grows to 5.8 cm (2.3 in) standard length.
The Indian glass barb, is a cyprinid fish in the family Cyprinidae found in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal and Indonesia. This species is reported in Mekong and Chao Phraya.

Laubuka fasciata is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to river systems in Kerala, India. It is known as Malabar Hatchet Chela. The fish was first discovered in 1958 in the Anamalai streams by the Keralite fish scientist Eric Godwin Silas. The species was named Fasciata because of it shiny stripe on the body.
Laubuka siamensis is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Thailand.
Laubuka latens is a species of small fish of the minnow and carp family, Cyprinidae, and the Danio subfamily. It was described in 2015 from specimens collected in the Cauvery River and its tributaries in the Western Ghats of India. This species and Laubuka trevori had been thought to be local variants of the Indian glass barb but were shown to be different species. The unique features of L. latens are that it has 7½ branched rays in its dorsal fin with 5 branched rays in its pelvic fin; it has 14 precaudal vertebrae and 17–18 predorsal scales; aw s well as 5+4+2 teeth on the fifth ceratobranchial bone. It can also be distinguished from its close relatives by its plain unmarked body, lacking stripes.
Laubuka trevori is a species of small fish of the minnow and carp family, Cyprinidae, and the Danio subfamily.

This species and Laubuka latens had been thought to be local variants of the Indian glass barb but were shown to be different species.

L. trevori has 14½–15½ branched rays in its anal fin, a relatively short pelvic fin which is about a fifth as long as its standard length and it has two stripes running along its body: one a golden and the other a blue-green stripe which runs from behind the operculum to the peduncle of the caudal fin which is broken and less distinct towards the head than the golden stripe.
Laubuka tenella is a species of small fish of the minnow and carp family, Cyprinidae, and the Danioninae subfamily. It was described in 2018 from specimens collected in the small streams of Cox's Bazar and Teknaf in Bangladesh and Thandwe river drainage in Western Myanmar.
