Devario assamensis

Cyprinidae · (Barman, 1984)

Devario assamensis is a deep-bodied devario from Assam and West Bengal in northeastern India, in tributaries of the lower Brahmaputra. It has been traded as Devario sp. 'Mirik red', D. sp. 'redline' and D. sp. 'blood stripe', but is very rare in the hobby. If the distribution records are correct, it occurs from around 250 m AMSL in Darrang to 1767 m at Mirik, and possibly higher in Bhutan.
