Garra gymnothorax, the chest scaleless garra, is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra which is found in Iran. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the more common Garra rufa,[2] but FishBase elevates it to a full species. As the common name suggests, the breast of the fish is usually naked, though some populations do have imbedded scales here.[3]
