Leptobarbus rubripinna, also known as the Sultan barb, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the carp and minnow family, Cyprinidae which occurs in south-east Asia. It is a migratory species which moves from the deltas and estuaries upstream to spawn, this occurs in January and February in the Mekong with the fish returning downstream in May and June. It feeds on insects and fruits, even poisonous fruits and as a result of this diet its flesh sometimes becomes toxic, although this species is harvested as a food fish. Adult fish seem to prefer deeper areas in the river such as pools or slow-moving stretches, although they will occur in faster-flowing stretches when feeding. It is a common but never abundant species which occurs in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in the draina

- Leptobarbus rubripinna, also known as the Sultan barb, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish from the carp and minnow family, Cyprinidae which occurs in south-east Asia. It is a migratory species which moves from the deltas and estuaries upstream to spawn, this occurs in January and February in the Mekong with the fish returning downstream in May and June. It feeds on insects and fruits, even poisonous fruits and as a result of this diet its flesh sometimes becomes toxic, although this species is harvested as a food fish. Adult fish seem to prefer deeper areas in the river such as pools or slow-moving stretches, although they will occur in faster-flowing stretches when feeding. It is a common but never abundant species which occurs in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in the drainages of the Mekong, Chao Praya and Mae Klong rivers where it is threatened by damming and deforestation, which destroys the seasonally flooded forest this species often feeds in. It was until recently considered to be conspecific with Leptobarbus hoevenii but it is now considered to be a separate species, although they share English vernacular names under which both species may appear in the aquarium trade. One of these names, "mad barb", refers to its behaviour when apparently intoxicated after consuming some types of poisonous fruit. As an aquarium fish it is really only suitable for large public displays and it grows too large for most tanks, reaching sizes of up to 1 metre in length. It is a popular quarry for sport anglers in south-east Asia. (en)
