Masticbarbus iridescens is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish native to southeastern China, northern Laos and northern Vietnam.[2][3] It reaches up to 29.7 cm (11.7 in) in standard length.[2] Juveniles are pale yellowish with 5–6 narrow dark bars; these become much broader when they reach adulthood.[3] Formerly, some considered M. longipinnis to be a subspecies of this species, but recent authorities recognize them as separate.[3]
