Osteochilus brachynotopteroides is a fresh water fish in the family Cyprinidae from Southeast Asia. [2] [3] It occurs in the lower Mekong Basin and is present in Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam; it is expected to occur in Cambodia but has not been found there. [1]
Osteochilus brachynotopteroides grows to 15 cm (5.9 in) TL. [2] It is a rare species that seems to prefer hill streams and highland lakes. It is probably present, although not documented, in local subsistence fisheries. [1]
