Your dorsal fin is supported by three to four undivided and nine to ten branched fin rays, the anal fin has two to three undivided and six, rarely five or seven branched fin rays. The last undivided fin ray of the dorsal fin is ossified and smooth. The scales are large and patterned by numerous parallel radii. There are one or two pairs of barbels on the mouth . The pharyngeal teeth have hooked tips.
- Tooth formula of the pharynx: 2.3.5-5.3.2 or 2.3.4-4.3.2.
- Scale formula : SL 25–39.
Like the Labeobarbus species, the Carasobarbus species have a hexaploid set of chromosomes.
