Gyrinocheilus pennocki, also known as the spotted algae eater, is a species of freshwater fish endemic to the Mekong basin in Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.[1][2][3] It grows to 28 cm (11 in) SL.[2] It is an important species caught both in commercial and artisanal fisheries.[1]
Gyrinocheilus pennocki are synonymous to Gyrinocheilus aymonieri but differ in body proportions primarily in head shape.[4]
