Cyprinidae
family of fishes in the order Cypriniformes
(Redirected from Cyprinid)
Cyprinidae are a family of freshwater fish.[1] They are in the class Actinopterygii, and include more than 3000 different species.[1] They have a maximum length of over 2.5 metres (8 feet 2 inches) but most types of cyprinidae are smaller than 5cm (2 inches).[1]
Description
changeCyprinids don't have a stomach, so they depend on their pharyngeal teeth to eat food. The largest of the family is the giant barb (Catlocarpio siamensis), but there are other large species like the golden mahseer and mangar. All species are oviparous and most do not keep an eye on their eggs.
