Barbus gurneyi Günther, 1868 The redtail barb (Enteromius gurneyi) is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to KwaZulu Natal in South Africa.

It is found at altitudes of 300–1,000 metres (980–3,280 ft), particularly in clear streams over sandstones.

[2] [3] This species reaches a length of 10.0 cm (3.9 in).

[4] The fish is named in honor of John Henry Gurney (1819–1890), an English banker and amateur ornithologist, through whose help Günther received numerous specimens from Port Natal Durban, South Africa.
