all though the face structure is not quite right for that species...Yet still a pretty fish...

Labeos lose the nose mostly due to inbreeding (Axelrod 1983), although it has been suggested by some ichthyologists that "lack of use" also plays a role in it's diminishment in captivity. I would take that with a grain of salt.
