Andalusian Barbel

The Andalusian barbel (Luciobarbus sclateri), also called gypsy barbel (which is a direct translation of Spanish: Barbo gitano), is a freshwater fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is here placed in Luciobarbus following the IUCN, but that genus is very closely related to the other typical barbels and perhaps better considered a mere subgenus of Barbus. The Andalusian barbel was formerly included in L. bocagei as a subspecies.
