Fishes form the largest group of vertebrates and they serve as best food supplement. It contains protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. District Betul in Madhya Pradesh is situated at the centre of India. It has dense forest and many streams arise from hills. Tapti river and Machna river are originated from this district and Tawa river originated from the neighbouring district Chhindwara enters in Betul district. These rivers are inhabited by many fishes including hill stream fishes. The present study intends to identify the main hill stream fishes of Betul district and to observe their structural modification.
