Hypsibarbus wetmorei


Hypsibarbus wetmorei, the golden belly barb, lemon fin barb or lemon barb, is a species of cyprinid fish. It is native to the Mae Klong, Mekong, Chao Phraya, Tapi and Pahang rivers in Mainland Southeast Asia. Although locally common and considered to be a species of Least Concern, it is threatened (at least in parts of its range) by overfishing, dams and pollution. It typically reaches 25 cm (10 in) in length, but has been recorded up to about 70 cm (2 ft 4 in).
