The Arabian himri is a small freshwater fish from the carp family. It lives only in mountain streams and temporary rivers in western Saudi Arabia.
The Arabian himri differs by its narrow range and adaptation to temporary desert water bodies. It maintains water purity by eating algae and serves as food for local birds and predatory fish.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
