Barbodes

7 species

Barbodes is a genus of small to medium-sized cyprinid fish native to tropical Asia. The majority of the species are from Southeast Asia. Many species are threatened and some from the Philippines (Lake Lanao) are already extinct. A survey carried out in 1992 only found three of the endemic Barbodes species, and only two (Barbodes lindog and B. tumba) were found in 2008. Several members of this genus were formerly included in Puntius.
