Abstract
The fishes of the present study were collected in Passa Cinco stream, a main river of Corumbataí River basin, Tietê drainage. Five sites were selected in that stream, downstream from headwater to its mouth, and six samplings were performed using the following fishery equipment: a sieve, electric fishery equipment, gill nets and fish-traps. 5082 individuals, 62 species, 18 families and 6 orders were captured. The orders Characiformes and Siluriformes were the most representative and the families Characidae and Loricariidae presented the largest in number of species.

Summary
The neotropical area presents a great diversity of species of fresh water fish (Lowe-McConnell 1999). South America harbors, approximately, 60 families and about 5.000 species (Vari and Weitzman 1990). Thirty-eight families and 310 fish species were recorded for the upper Paraná river basin in São Paulo state (Langeani et al 2007). The Passa Cinco stream is a main river of Corumbataí River basin and one of the most preserved. Its name is a toponymy for being the fifth river the travelers of the 19th century found in the way from Rio Claro to Ipeúna: Ribeirão Claro, Servidão, Corumbataí, Cabeça and, the Passa Cinco stream
