   Coloration

   The most obvious distinguishing feature is the pure white to pale yellow body and red/pink eyes, indicative of albinism. No other native European freshwater fish of comparable size exhibits this combination.

   Barbels

   Presence of four prominent, fleshy barbels around the subterminal mouth is characteristic of the Barbel genus.

   Dorsal Fin Spine

   A strong, serrated spine at the front of the dorsal fin is a key identifier for Barbus barbus and its variants.
