Barbodes dunckeri,[2] the bigspot barb or clown barb, is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to the Malay Peninsula where it inhabits clear streams and acidic swamps. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade.[3] It was described by Ernst Ahl in 1929,[4] but was first recognized as a distinct species by Georg Duncker in 1905.[5]
