The lined barb (Striuntius lineatus) [1] is a species of cyprinid fish native to Malaysia and Indonesia where it can be found in swamps, standing waters with submerged grasses and blackwater rivers. This species can reach a length of 5.3 centimetres (2.1 in). It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2]

## Etymology

[edit]

The genus name Striuntius is a combination of parts of the Latin "striatus", meaning "striated" and the genus name Puntius.[1] The specific epithet lineatus is Latin for "lined" referring to the color pattern of this fish.
