Aphyocypris Lini
Aphyocypris lini, the garnet minnow or Venus minnow, is a species of cyprinid endemic to China. It was first collected from Hong Kong by A.W. Herre in 1936. The introduction of mosquitofish (''Gambusia affinis'') and habitat destruction caused the extirpation of this species from Hong Kong and the species was considered to be extinct in the wild. However, a similar species '' Aphyocypris pulchrilineata'' was discovered in Guangxi in southern China, but this species lacks the dark spot on the base of the caudal fin. Named in honor of Chinese ichthyologist Lin Shu-Yen (1903-1974). Description ''Aphyocypris lini'' is a small fish which has a yellowish-brown body with a bluish back and a white underside which are separated by a series of parallel stripes with the middle stripe being reddish-yellow, a bluish black stripe above and an iridescent green line below it. There is a large blue spot, edged with gold at the base of the caudal fin while the fins are white. It has pelvic scu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyprinidae Genera
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 s ...

Aphyocypris Moltrechti
''Aphyocypris moltrechti'', Moltrecht's minnow, is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Taiwan. It was formerly considered to be the only species in the genus ''Pararasbora''. The Endemic Species Research Institute under the Council of Agriculture of the Executive Yuan in Taiwan has enlisted ''Aphyocypris moltrechti'' as “precious and rare species” among other endemic freshwater species. Named in honor of physician-entomologist Arnold Moltrecht (1873-1952), who collected the type specimen. ''Aphyocypris moltrechti'' is distributed in the middle portion of western Taiwan, where they can be found in Tachia River Dajia River () is the fifth-longest river in Taiwan located in the north-central of the island. It flows through Taichung City for 142 km. The sources of the Dajia are: Hsuehshan and Nanhu Mountain in the Central Mountain Range. The Dajia ... and Tatu River.
