Osteobrama belangeri (Pengba/Belengee) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Osteobrama it was found in the Indian state of Manipur, but has been extirpated there and is found only in aquaculture, and in Myanmar. It is used as a food fish, from fish farms in Manipur and wild caught in Myanmar. The extirpation of this species from Manipur was caused by dam building, habitat degradation and the introduction of alien species which caused the populations to fragment.[1]
