text: # Snowtrout
  
  A snowtrout is any of a number of ray-finned fishes from the Himalayas region. These cyprinids resemble the very distantly related trouts in habitus due to convergent evolution.
  
  Genera containing "snowtrouts" are:
  
  * Diptychus
  * Ptychobarbus
  * Schizopyge
  * Schizopygopsis
  * Schizothorax
  
  The species most often called "the snowtrout" is Schizothorax richardsonii, but locally the term may refer to any other snowtrout species.
