Aphyocypris Lini
''Aphyocypris lini'', the garnet minnow or Venus minnow, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies. This species is endemic to China. It was first collected from Hong Kong by A.W. Herre in 1936. The introduction of mosquitofish (''Gambusia affinis'') and habitat destruction caused the extirpation of this species from Hong Kong and the species was considered to be extinct in the wild. However, a similar species ''Aphyocypris pulchrilineata'' was discovered in Guangxi in southern China, but this species lacks the dark spot on the base of the caudal fin. The specific name of this fish honors the Chinese ichthyologist Lin Shu-Yen (1903-1974). Description ''Aphyocypris lini'' is a small fish which has a yellowish-brown body with a bluish back and a white underside which are separated by a series of parallel stripes with the middle stripe being reddish-yellow, a bluish black stripe above and an iridescent ...
