Hemigrammocapoeta nana Heckel, 1843 Tylognathus nanus Heckel, 1843 Tylognathus steinitziorum Kosswig, 1950 Garra nana is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae.
[2] This bottom-dwelling fish is often overlooked, as it is small and prefers to hide among stones and water plants.
[3] It is threatened by habitat loss, particularly due to water pollution and unsustainable water extraction for agriculture.
Droughts perhaps exacerbated by climate change and invasive species also pose problems.
Though the populations in lakes generally hold their own, most of these are small and susceptible to catastrophic fish kills; only the Lake Kinneret population appears to be stable.
