Toxabramis is a genus of cyprinid fish found in eastern Asia. There are currently seven species in this genus.
The Cyprinidae are the family of freshwater fish, collectively called cyprinids, that includes the carps, the true minnows, and their relatives. Also commonly called the "carp family", or "minnow family", Cyprinidae is the largest and most diverse fish family and the largest vertebrate animal family in general, with about 3,000 species of which only 1,270 remain extant, divided into about 370 genera. They range from about 12 mm to the 3-m Catlocarpio siamensis. The family belongs to the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes, of whose genera and species the cyprinids make up more than two-thirds. The family name is derived from the Ancient Greek kyprînos.
Acrossocheilus is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Cyprinidae, native to freshwater in China, Taiwan, Laos, and Vietnam. They are fairly small, no more than 30 cm (1 ft) in standard length.
Cyprinus is the genus of typical carps in family Cyprinidae. Most species in the genus are of East Asia origin with only the common carp in Western Asia and Europe; this invasive species has also been introduced to many other regions around the world. Cyprinus are closely related to some more barb-like genera, such as Cyclocheilichthys and Barbonymus (tinfoils). The crucian carps (Carassius) of western Eurasia, which include the goldfish, are apparently not as closely related.
Mastacembelus is a genus of many species of spiny eel fish from the family Mastacembelidae. They are native to Africa and Asia. Most are found in rivers and associated systems, but there are also species in other freshwater habitats and a particularly rich radiation is found in the Lake Tanganyika basin with 15 species. A few species can even occur in brackish water.
Acheilognathus is a genus of cyprinid fish native to Asia. The name is derived from the Greek a, meaning "without", the Greek cheilos, meaning "lip", and the Greek gnathos, meaning "jaw".
Leiocassis is a genus of bagrid catfishes found mostly in Southeast Asia with some species occurring in China.
Schistura is a genus of fish in the stone loach family Nemacheilidae native to the streams and rivers of the southern and eastern Asia. Some of these species are troglobitic.
Monopterus is a genus of swamp eels mainly native to Asia, but with two species in Africa. They live in various freshwater habitats and some have a fossorial lifestyle. Three species, M. eapeni, M. digressus and M. roseni, live in underground waters.
Silurus is a genus of catfishes native to Europe and Asia.
Cirrhinus molitorella is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cirrhinus found mainly in southern China and Vietnam.
Cyprinus dai is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyprinus from the Black River basin in northern Vietnam.
Cyprinus ilishaestomus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyprinus. Critically endangered, it inhabits Qiluhu Lake, Yunnan, China.
Cyprinus intha is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyprinus. The species is only known from Inle Lake, a large, isolated freshwater lake on the Shan Plateau in eastern Myanmar. It is considered to be Endangered, among other reasons, because of widespread hybridization with introduced Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio.
Aphyocypris is a genus of cyprinid fishes consisting of eight species, all of which are restricted to East Asia.
Opsariichthys is a genus of cyprinid fish found in freshwater habitats in China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. There are currently 12 described species in the genus.
Spinibarbus is a genus of cyprinid fish found in eastern Asia. There are currently seven described species in this genus.
Macropodus is a genus of small to medium-sized labyrinth fish native to freshwater habitats in eastern Asia. Most species are restricted to southern China and Vietnam, but M. opercularis occurs as far north as the Yangtze basin, and M. ocellatus occurs north to the Amur River, as well as in Japan and Korea. In China, they are often used for fights, so they are named Chinese bettas because of their similarity to the genus Betta. A few species in the genus are regularly seen in the aquarium trade, and M. opercularis has been introduced to regions far outside its native range.
Toxabramis hoffmanni is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Toxabramis. It is found in Guangxi, China.
Toxabramis maensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Toxabramis. It is found in Vietnam.
Toxabramis nhatleensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Toxabramis. It is found in Vietnam.
