Etymology: Garra: Name based on a vernacular Indian name (Hamilton, 1822:343, Ref. 1813); a fish living in mud (Ref. 128817); nepalensis: Named for the country Nepal where the species was collected.

Kurzbeschreibung
Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 10; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 7. Garra nepalensis is distinguished from its sympatric congeners, except Garra rupecula), by having 35-36 lateral line scales (vs. 31-34). It further differs from G. rupecula by the lack of a W-shaped band on the caudal fin. It is distinct from a closely related species G. khawbungi by having snout tip not marked off by a transverse groove (vs. snout with weakly developed transverse groove) and the lack of W-shaped band on caudal fin (vs. presence) (Ref. 118052).
Found in sampling localities with clear, bluish, moderately flowing water (0.61 mean depth and average width 10 meter) and with a mixed substrate of sand, silt, gravel, pebbles, boulders and bedrock. Other fishes collected include Schizothorax richardsonii (Gray), Barilius bendelisis (Hamilton), Naziritor cheilynoides (McClelland) and Tor tor (Hamilton). The following physico-chemical parameters were taken in the sampling site on 11 April 2014: air temperature 20ºC, water temperature 23ºC, pH 7.2, dissolved oxygen 7.9 mg/l, conductivity 021 μs, and total dissolved solids 163 ppm in 2 pm at noon (Ref. 118052).
