Aphanius shirini, the Shirin toothcarp, or Khosroshirin tooth-carp, is a species of pupfish belonging to the family Cyprinodontidae.[1] It is found in the Khosroshirin stream of the Kor River basin, Fars Province, Iran. The species is threatened by the introduction of the carnivorous rainbow trout to their habitat.[2] It is harmless to humans.[3]
