Anabarilius transmontanus is a species of cyprinid fish. [2] [4] It is known from the Red River and Pearl River drainages in Yunnan, China; it is expected to occur in northern Vietnam. [1] [4] It can grow to 16 cm (6.3 in) total length, although it is commonly around 10 cm (3.9 in) standard length. [4] It occurs in both rivers and lakes. The species is threatened by domestic and urban water pollution, habitat loss, and possibly non-native species. [1]
