Capoeta kosswigi

(Capoeta kosswigi)

Description

Capoeta kosswigi, also known as the Van scraper or Van barb, is a species of cyprinid fish living in Turkey, in the Van Lake basin. It is however likely (but not finally clear) that this is the same fish as Capoeta damascina, and the name is thus just a synonym.
