Barbodes sellifer, the saddled barb, is a species of cyprinid fish described in 2021.

Previously thought to be a variant of Barbodes banksi, it and B. zakariaismaili were recently removed from B. banksi due to its unique color pattern and morphological differences that set it apart from other species of its genus.

[1] Similar to other of its genus, the overall body coloration is dark yellowish brown, while the back of the fish is darker, and its underside paler.

It is found in Singapore, the Malay Peninsular, Indonesia, and parts of Sumatra.

[3] Barbodes sellifer prefers clear forest streams and pools, but is quite adaptable to other habitats like large rivers, lakes, and even swamps.
