Barbodes zakariaismaili
Species of fish from Malaysia
Barbodes zakariaismaili, or Zakaria's barb, is a newly described species of cyprinid fish as of 2021.[1] The species is native to Malaysia, where it is found in foothills and lowland streams with clear water in the southern Malay Peninsula. The species has very little to no significant commercial value.
Previously thought to be a variant of Barbodes banksi, it and Barbodes sellifer were removed from B. banksi due to its unique color pattern in adulthood and morphological differences.[2]
