Aborichthys is a genus of stone loaches found in streams of India with one species also found in Myanmar. [1]
There are at least 12 recognized species in this genus: [2]
Garra is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae. These fish are one example of the "log suckers", sucker-mouthed barbs and other cyprinids commonly kept in aquaria to keep down algae. The doctor fish of Anatolia and the Middle East belongs in this genus. The majority of the more than 140 species of garras are native to Asia, but about one-fifth of the species are from Africa.
Indoreonectes is a genus of stone loaches native to the Western Ghats in India.
Nemacheilus is a genus of stone loaches native to Asia.
Schistura is a genus of fish in the stone loach family Nemacheilidae native to the streams and rivers of the southern and eastern Asia. Some of these species are troglobitic.
Psilorhynchus is a genus of fish in the family Psilorhynchidae native to South Asia. This genus is the only member of its family. The members of Psilorhynchus are small benthic fishes which occur in rivers and streams with fast to swift currents, hence they are often referred to a torrent minnows. They are distributed in southern Asia, in the Indo-Burma region and the Western Ghats.
Schistura horai is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. It is found in India and Pakistan. It is named in honour of the ichthyologist Sunder Lal Hora (1896-1955), who was the Director of the Zoological Survey of India and who collected the type specimen in 1926 in Himachal Pradesh.
Schistura prashadi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. Some authorities place it in the genus Physoschistura It is known from just three localities in the Chindwin River drainage in Manipur, India. It is a benthic species of hill streams, preferring well oxygenated, clear, flowing water.
Schistura rupecula is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is distributed through the eastern Himalayas from North Bengal through Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh in India and into Nepal. Its habitat is hill streams with pebbly stream beds while adults are often found in shallow water riffles and spring pools. The specific name rupecula means "rock dweller" which was given to the species by its describer John McClelland in reference to the hill streams around Simla from where the type specimens were collected. It is the type species of the genus Schistura.
Schistura devdevi is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. It is found in clear, swift streams with pebble beds in upland areas of the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Sikkim and West Bengal, as well as in Nepal. It sometimes appears in the aquarium trade. The specific name honours Dr Dev Dev Mukerji of the Zoological Survey of India.
Loaches are fish of the superfamily Cobitoidea. They are freshwater, benthic (bottom-dwelling) fish found in rivers and creeks throughout Eurasia and northern Africa. Loaches are among the most diverse groups of fish; the 1249 known species of Cobitoidea comprise about 107 genera divided among 9 families.
Physoschistura is a genus of fish in the family Nemacheilidae found mostly in Southeast Asia.
The Nemacheilidae, or stone loaches, are a family of cypriniform fishes that inhabit stream environments, mostly in Eurasia, with one genus, Afronemacheilus found in Africa. The family includes about 790 species.
Garra magnidiscus is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra. Identified in 2013, Garra m. is found in the Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh where is it is known locally as Ngop. The name magnidiscus refers to a distinctive large adhesive disc found in the posterior region of its mouth.
Garra elongata is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra from Manipur in north eastern India and possibly Myanmar.
Garra tamangi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra described from the Dikrong River at Hoj near NHPC complex, Itanagar, Papum Pare district, Arunachal Pradesh, north eastern India.
Aborichthys cataracta is a species of stone loach endemic to streams joining Ranga River in Upper Subanshri District, India. This fish grows to a length of 9.3 centimetres (3.7 in) SL.
Aborichthys waikhomi is a species of stone loach found in the Noa-Dihing River, upper Brahmaputra basin in the Namdapha National Park and Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh, India. This fish grows to a length of 6.8 centimetres (2.7 in) SL.
Aborichthys iphipaniensis is a species of stone loach found in the Iphipani River drainage, upper Brahmaputra basin, Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India. Habitat: freshwater.
Aborichthys rosammai is a species of stone loach from India.
Aborichthys bajpaii is a small, benthic fish, observed in the Siang River, Brahmaputra River drainage, in Arunachal Pradesh, India. This new species is distinct from all species described in the genus. A vent and anus that is closer to the caudal fin base than to the snout, 17–22 stripes that converge to the mid-dorsal line which are branched into 26–38 bars along the flank, vertical bars on the caudal fin peduncle, an incomplete lateral line that continues to the end of the pectoral fin, a long head and a deep body, a pectoral fin with 91/2 branched rays, a dorsal fin origin that is equidistant to the snout and to the base of caudal fin, a pelvic fin origin closer to the pectoral fin origin than to the anal fin origin, 2–3 irregular black stripes on the dorsal fin, a maxillary barbel that extends over the posterior edge of the orbit and a truncate caudal fin with 2–4 irregular black stripes.
