Wikipedia Abstract

The straightfin barb (Barbus paludinosus) is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. B. pleurogramma is sometimes included here, but while it is certainly extremely closely related, it appears to be a distinct cryptic species. B. paludinosus is found in Burundi, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are rivers, freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, and inland deltas. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
