Systomus spilurus is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Sri Lanka. [1]
Oreochromis is a large genus of oreochromine cichlids, fishes endemic to Africa and the Middle East. A few species from this genus have been introduced far outside their native range and are important in aquaculture. Many others have very small ranges; some are seriously threatened, and O. ismailiaensis and O. lidole possibly are extinct. Although Oreochromis primarily are freshwater fish of rivers, lakes and similar habitats, several species can also thrive in brackish waters and some even survive in hypersaline conditions with a salinity that far surpasses that of seawater. In addition to overfishing and habitat loss, some of the more localized species are threatened by the introduction of other, more widespread Oreochromis species into their ranges. This is because they—in addition to competing for the local resources—often are able to hybridize.
Parupeneus spilurus, the blackspot goatfish, is a species of goatfish native to the western Pacific ocean, from Japan to Australia and New Zealand. An inhabitant of coral reefs, it can be found at depths of from 10 to 80 metres. This species can reach a length of 50 centimetres (20 in) TL. It is a commercially important species.
The Asoka barb is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Sri Lanka where it is found in the upper reaches of the Sitawaka River and its tributaries, and Kelani near Kitulgala. This fish can reach a length of 17 centimetres (6.7 in) TL.
Martenstyn's Barb is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Sri Lanka. This species can reach a length of 25 centimetres (9.8 in). It is important to local commercial fisheries.
The side-striped barb or black-lined barb is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Sri Lanka where it occurs in the catchment of the Kelani and Nilwala Rivers. This species can reach a length of 16 centimetres (6.3 in) TL. It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries and can also be found in the aquarium trade.
The sailfin snapper, blue-lined sea bream or blue-lined sea perch is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae. It is native to the Indo-Pacific region. It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries and can be found in the aquarium trade. It is currently the only known member of its genus.
Systomus compressiformis is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Inle Lake, Myanmar. It is threatened by anthropogenic changes to the lake including the introduction of non-native species of plants and fishes.
Systomus endecanalis is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to the Kapuas River basin in western Borneo. This species can reach a standard length of 4.8 cm (1.9 in). Although placed in the genus Systomus by FishBase, it has been moved to Desmopuntius by Catalog of Fishes, following a taxonomic review by Maurice Kottelat in 2013.
Systomus jayarami is a species of cyprinid fish native to Manipur, India. This species reaches a length of 9.3 centimetres (3.7 in) SL.
Systomus sewelli is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Systomus. It is found in India and Myanmar. Fishbase give the species name as Puntius morehensis but the Catalog of Fishes lists this name as a synonym of Systomus sewelli,
The Javaen barb, is a species of cyprinid fish native to Southeast Asia. It can reach a length of 25 centimetres (9.8 in) SL and is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries.
The olive barb is a species of cyprinid fish native to Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Myanmar. This species can reach a length of 42 centimetres (17 in) TL. It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries and sought as a gamefish. It is popular in Bangladesh but unpopular in the aquarium trade. Adults occur in rivers, streams, lakes and backwaters. Tolerant of salinity. They form schools in groups of four or five to several dozens. Feed on aquatic insects, fish, algae and shrimps. Spawn in running waters among submerged boulders and vegetation. Small fish have limited demand in the aquarium trade.
The Stedman barb is a species of cyprinid fish native to India and Bangladesh in the Ganges River basin where it occurs in foothill streams and rivers. This species can reach a length of 24 centimetres (9.4 in) TL. It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries.
Iguanodectes is a genus of freshwater fish found in tropical South America, with eight currently described species. They are all small tetras, none longer than 5 inches, and often have attractive silvery or striped scales, which makes them a target for the ornamental fish industry. Alongside the genus Piabucus, it is in the subfamily Iguanodectinae, which in turn is in the family Iguanodectidae. The genus Bryconops, which is also in Iguanodectidae, makes up a sister clade to Iguanodectinae.
Systomus is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae native to tropical Asia.
Osteochilus spilurus is a cyprinid freshwater fish from Southeast Asia. It is found in Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. It grows to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) SL.
Systomus timbiri, also known as Timbiri barb, is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Sri Lanka.
The golden systomus is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to India. This species can reach a length of 15.2 centimetres (6.0 in) SL. It is a gold colour and has pelvic and anal fins that are orange red.
Systomus immaculatus is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to the Assam region in India. This species can reach a length of 19.3 centimetres (7.6 in) SL.
Iguanodectes spilurus, the green-line lizard tetra, is a small characiform fish from the rivers of South America. It is not a well-studied species, but research is available, including data from hobbyists that keep it as an ornamental fish. It has a distinct lateral stripe of reflective-green scales, and lacks any red markings therein; red is common in congeners' lateral stripes.
