Labeo angra is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae, the carps and minnows. It is commonly known as the Angra labeo.[1] It is native to Asia, where it is distributed in Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, and Pakistan .[1] It has also been reported from Afghanistan.[2]
This fish has been known to reach a maximum length of around 22 centimeters.[2] It is an herbivorous freshwater fish that can be found in several habitat types, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds.[1]
This species is of commercial importance as a food and sport fish.[2] It has become very rare in the Hakaluki Haor wetlands of eastern Bangladesh,[1] and the construction of a dam on the Tinau River of Nepal has interrupted its migration activity there,[3] but in general it is common and not considered threatened.[1]
