Cyprinus intha is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cyprinus. The species is endemic to Inle Lake,[1] a large, isolated freshwater lake on the Shan Plateau in eastern Myanmar. It is considered to be endangered, among other reasons, because of widespread hybridization with introduced Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio.
