The Chao Phraya is the major river in Thailand, with its low alluvial plain forming the centre of the country. It flows through Bangkok and then into the Gulf of Thailand.
The tinfoil barb is a tropical Southeast Asian freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. This species was originally described as Barbus schwanenfeldii by Pieter Bleeker in 1853, and has also been placed in the genera Barbodes and Puntius. The specific epithet is frequently misspelled schwanefeldii.
Barbus is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. The type species of Barbus is the common barbel, first described as Cyprinus barbus and now named Barbus barbus. Barbus is the namesake genus of the subfamily Barbinae, but given their relationships, that taxon is better included in the Cyprininae at least for the largest part.
The ticto barb or twospot barb is a species of subtropical freshwater fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae. It is a native of the upper Mekong, Salwen, Irrawaddy, Meklong and upper Charo Phraya basins in the countries of Nepal, India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Sri Lanka. It has frequently been confused with the Odessa barb in the aquarium trade, but in that species the male is reddish-orange.
The red-tailed black shark, also known as the redtail shark and redtail sharkminnow, is a species of freshwater fish in the carp family, Cyprinidae. Despite its name, it is more closely related to carp. It is endemic to Thailand and currently critically endangered, but common in aquaria, where it is prized for its deep black body and vivid red or vivid orange tail. The red-tailed black sharks seen in the aquarium trade today are all captive bred.
A barb is one of various ray-finned fish species in a non-phylogenetic group, with members in the family Cyprinidae, and especially the genera Barbus and Puntius, but many others also. They were formerly united with the barbels in the subfamily Barbinae but that group is paraphyletic with the Cyprininae. If the Labeoninae are recognized as distinct, many small African "barbs" would probably, however, warrant recognition as a new subfamily.
The sixgill sawshark, Pliotrema warreni is a sawshark of the family Pristiophoridae. Presence of 6 pairs of gill slits highlights this genus among sharks; outside Hexanchiformes order, Pliotrema is the only shark with more than 5 gill slits. Unlike other sawsharks, the barbs on this shark's rostrum continue onto the sides of the head. Its barbels are also closer to its mouth than in other species. At maximum, females can reach over 136 cm long, and males can reach over 112 cm long.
The giant barb, Siamese giant carp, or simply Siamese carp, is the largest species of cyprinid in the world. These migratory fish are found only in the Mae Klong, Mekong, and Chao Phraya River basins in Indochina. Populations have declined drastically due to habitat loss and overfishing, and the giant barb is now considered critically endangered.
Luciobarbus antinorii, commonly known as the Tunisian barb or Chott el Djerid barbel, was a doubtfully distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae.
The Algerian barb or Tunisian barb, is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Algeria and Tunisia.
Caecobarbus geertsi, the African blind barb or Congo blind barb, is a species of cyprinid fish. This threatened cavefish is only known from Democratic Republic of the Congo, and it is the only member of the monotypic genus Caecobarbus. George Albert Boulenger described this fish in 1921 and it apparently lacks any close relatives in the Congo region.
The long-snouted barb is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Puntius. It is found in India and Sri Lanka.
The Khavli barb or Indian maharaja barb is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Puntius. It is found in Maharashtra, India.
Goldfin tinfoil barb is a species of cyprinid fish that is found in Southeast Asia. It is native to the countries of Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia and Thailand where it is used as a food fish and in the aquarium trade.
The Nilgiris barb, also called the cock fish, is a tropical species of freshwater cyprinid fish. It is native to India. It is potamodromous, benthopelagic, and less than 25 cm long.
Hypselobarbus micropogon, the Korhi barb, is a species of cyprinid fish from India where it is restricted to the headwaters of Kaveri.
Puntioplites falcifer is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Puntioplites which is endemic to the Mekong basin in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Puntioplites waandersi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Puntioplites from south east Asia and the islands of Sumatra and Borneo.
The red tailed tinfoil or red tailed tinfoil barb is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish from South-East Asia. It lives in the Mekong and Chao Phraya river basins.
The burnt-tailed barb, also known as Siamese bala-shark, is a possibly extinct freshwater fish species from the family Cyprinidae. It is or was endemic to the Mae Klong and Chao Phraya River basins in Thailand.
