Aegean minnow
(Phoxinus strymonicus)

Recently described species, known only from Strymon River (Aggitis basin) in Greece. Possibly also found in Bulgaria and perhaps in adjacent catchments in Makedonia and Thraki, but populations in these areas remain unclassified. Populations of unidentified Phoxinus species exist locally in Loudias and Axios in the Makedonia-Thessaly Ecoregion, and Marmaras, Nestos (Bulgarian section), Filiouris and Evros (Bulgarian section) in the Thraki Ecoregion.

This small fish inhabits streams with clear and cool waters often with dense vegetation; these water bodies often depend on cold-water springs.

It reaches 6 cm TL.
