English term or phrase: barbins

Below is the complete sentence, however, I only need help with the term "barbins". This text accompanies a video about wild life around an Indian river. The fish is a small kind living in small pools of water. They "clean" rocks by sucking on them.
Thanks for your help!

In the fast flow, sucking barbins hold on tight with their mouths and scrape a meal of algae from the rocks.

Explanation:
barbins - only two hits on internet as barbins:

Nothing to do with Indian river.

The closiest name is Barbu-Polydactylus virginicus www.sms.si.edu/irlspec

http://www.indian-river.fl.us/fishing/fish/index vsetky druhy zijuce v lagune Indian r.

Cyprinidae - Kaprovite je obrovska celad, predpokladam ze to nie je tropicka ryba, takze skuste ryby v lagune I. rieky.

Mozno parmicka je spravny cesky vyraz, ovsem barbus ma len dva nazvy v cestine na stranke uvedenej p.P.B. Parmicky maju mnoho inych ceskych nazvov a zaroven aj latinskych. Ja by som to nechala ako rod Barbus, nakolko sami vedci maju problem kde ich zaradit z pohladu fylogenezy a hlavne ked bolo objavenych mnoho novych druhov.

parmičky

Explanation:
Jde o nějaký druh parmičky (barbus), ale o jaký, to by muselo být upřesněno v kontextu (nejlépe latinským názvem). Zkuste si vybrat v odkazu Zoo Brno.
