Schizopygopsis
''Schizopygopsis'' is a genus of cyprinid fish. Most species are endemic to river basins in the Himalayas and Qinghai–Tibet Plateau of China, but ''S. stoliczkai'' extends into the highlands of Afghanistan, Iran, northern India, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Tajikistan.Delin Qi, Songchang Guo, Yan Chao, Qinghui Kong, Changzhong Li, Mingzhe Xia,Baosheng Xie and Kai Zhao (2015). The biogeography and phylogeny of schizothoracine fishes (Schizopygopsis) in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Zoologica Scripta 44(5). ''S. younghusbandi'' is up to almost in total length, but the remaining species generally only reach about two-thirds of that size. Similar to '' Platypharodon'', ''Schizopygopsis'' have a horny sheath on the lower jaw and spoon-shaped teeth that they use to scrape off periphyton and algae from stones, but they will also eat benthic invertebrates.Tang, Y.; C.

Cyprinid
Cyprinidae is a family of freshwater fish commonly called the carp or minnow family. It includes the carps, the true minnows, and relatives like the barbs and barbels. 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. Cyprinids range from about 12 mm in size to the giant barb (''Catlocarpio siamensis''). By genus and species count, the family makes up more than two-thirds of the ostariophysian order Cypriniformes. The family name is derived from the Greek word ( 'carp'). Biology and ecology Cyprinids are stomachless fish with toothless jaws. Even so, food can be effectively chewed by the gill rakers of the specialized last gill bow. These pharyngeal teeth allow the fish to make chewing motions against a chewing plate formed by a bony process of the skull. The pharyngeal teeth are unique to each species and are used by scient ...

Oxygymnocypris
''Oxygymnocypris stewartii'' is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Tibet and occurs in the Yarlung Tsangpo River (=upper Brahmaputra) and its tributaries at altitudes above in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is the only species in its genus. Life history and ecology ''Oxygymnocypris stewartii'' grows to in standard length, in total length and in weight. It is a long-lived (to 25 years), late-maturing species that reproduces annually. ''Oxygymnocypris stewartii'' inhabits the deeper areas of clear, fast-flowing rivers with a rocky substrate. It is a generalized and opportunistic predator feeding both on fish and aquatic insects. Smaller specimens feed mostly on cobitid nemacheilid loaches and caddisflies of family Hydropsychidae, whereas larger individuals switch more towards cyprinid fishes and chironomid larvae. '' Triplophysa stenura'' is the most prevalent prey species, present in 47% of stomachs, but ''Schizopygopsis younghusbandi ''Schizopygopsis younghusbandi'' i ...
