barb

General name for fish of the genus Barbus and some related genera of the family Cyprinidae. As well as the barbel, barbs include many small tropical Old World species, some of which are familiar aquarium species. They are active egg-laying species, usually of ‘typical’ fish shape and with barbels at the corner of the mouth.
