Fish represent significant component of total biodiversity and are indicators of the state of aquatic habitats. Of particular importance are the endemic species that usually have a small and limited distribution and represent a valuable genetic resource. This paper reviews the distribution of endemic minnows Telestes metohiensis and Delminichthys ghetaldii in Eastern Herzegovina, including a number of watercourses in the region. The results showed that striped pijor (Telestes metohiensis) was present at a number of sites and has a wider range, unlike Delminichthys ghetaldii which was found in a few investigated sites.
