The line-spotted barb (Enteromius lineomaculatus) is a small freshwater fish of the carp and minnow family Cyprinidae, first described by George Boulenger in 1903. It is widespread in central and eastern Africa, with records from Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and it is common in the Zambezi, Okavango, Cunene and Limpopo river systems and parts of the upper Congo basin. Its natural habitats range from small streams to large rivers, intermittent rivers and inland deltas. It grows to about 8.6 centimetres in standard length and lives in tropical water of roughly 22 to 25 degrees Celsius. The fish moves upstream to spawn in flooded grassy areas. It has a minor commercial fishery and is traded for aquariums, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature does not consider it a threatened species.
