Paralaubuca typusis a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Xenocyprididae, the East Asian minnows or sharpbellies.

It is found in Thailand in the basins of the Chao Phraya, Tapi, Mekong and Mae Klong and in the Mekong on Laos and Cambodia, as well as Vietnam where it is also found in the La Ngà River.

[1] Paralaubuca typus inhabits shallow areas of large rivers, where it typically schools and is frequently harvested in significant quantities.

The eggs and larvae are carried downstream by the current and into inundated areas, where they develop further.

It is a long distance migrant, moving out of Tonle Sap upstream in the Mekong between November–February.
