Acrossocheilus longipinnis

(Acrossocheilus longipinnis)

Description

Acrossocheilus longipinnis is a species of cyprinid fish from the Pearl River basin in southern China. It has sometimes been included as a subspecies of A. iridescens, but recent authorities recognize them as separate species. M. longipinnis reaches at least 38 cm (15 in) in length. Juveniles are pale yellowish with 5–6 narrow dark bars, but in adults (over 11 cm or 4.3 in long) the dark bars are broad.
