Supradiscus micropulvinus is a species of cyprinid fish in the subfamily Labeoninae. It is endemic to the upper Red River drainage in Yunnan, China. It grows to 13 cm (5.1 in) standard length.

Ecology

At the type locality in Xichou County, Supradiscus micropulvinus prefer stream stretches with a rapid current and stony substrate. The diet is mostly based on algae, but they also feed on other aquatic plants and on larvae of aquatic insects. According to local knowledge, adults conduct an upstream spawning migration in September–December, with spawning taking place in pools of clear water.
