Altigena elegans is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in the Nam Theun basin in Laos. [3]
Balantiocheilos is a small genus of cyprinid fish from southeast Asia. It includes two species.
Rhodeus laoensis is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Acheilognathinae of the family Cyprinidae. It originates in Nam Theun River in the Mekong Delta in Laos. The fish reaches a length up to 4.7 cm (1.9 in). When spawning, the females deposit their eggs inside bivalves, where they hatch and the young remain until they can swim. It was discovered in 1998 along with 21 other species by Maurice Kottelat

The Siamese tigerfish, also known as the Siamese tiger perch, is a species of ray-finned fish belonging to the family Lobotidae, the tripletails and tiger perches. This fish is endemic to Indochina and is assessed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN.
Systomus jacobusboehlkei is a species of cyprinid fish native to the lower Mekong and Chao Phraya Basins of Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. It inhabits marshlands and floodplains, swamps, and small, slow-flowing tributaries. It is present in local food fisheries, along with other small species. This species can reach a length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in) SL.
Schistura atra is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. This species has only been recorded from the drainage systems of the Nam Theun and Nam Gnouang, tributaries of the Mekong, in Laos. It can be found in the parts of streams with deep water and fast currents where it lives among the rocks. The lower parts of the basins it occurs in have been impacted by damming and this species has probably been extirpated from these area but it continues to survive upstream of the reservoirs. The habitat of this fish is affected by deforestation, agriculture and gold mining as well as the dams.
Schistura cataracta is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. It occurs in the Nam Theun and Nam Gnouang, in the Mekong basin of Laos. It prefers stretches of rivers with fast current and a stony or rocky substrate, but it does occasionally occur over gravel or sandy substrates. It can also be found in reservoirs, albeit at low densities and dams are the biggest threat to this species.
Schistura obeini is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It has been recorded from the Nam Theun and Nam Gnouang rivers in Laos where it inhabits fast or very fast flowing water over pebble or stone beds in the headwaters of the rivers. The specific name honours François Obein of the Nam Theun 2 Electricity Consortium in Vientiane for the assistance he gave to the describer Maurice Kottelat in the field and for his organisation of logistics in the field.
Schistura quasimodo is a species of stone loach in the genus Schistura. It is known from a single stream from the Nam Ngum drainage in Laos, a tributary of the Mekong. It has a cylindrical body, sometimes with a conspicuous hump. The known material suggests a maximum standard length of about 48 mm (1.9 in).
Hemimyzon confluens is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Hemimyzon. It is known from a single location in the Nam Ngum drainage in Laos, a tributary of the Mekong. The known material suggests a maximum standard length of about 47 mm (1.9 in). H. confluens is threatened by pollution from mining activities and hydro-power development.
Nemacheilus arenicolus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Nemacheilus which is found only in the Nam Theun and Nam Gnouang rivers in Laos.
Gyrinocheilus aymonieri is a freshwater fish native to large parts of Southeast Asia. It is of interest as a local food source and for the aquarium trade. Its common names include honey sucker, sucking loach and Chinese algae eater.
Datnioides microlepis, also known as the Indonesian tiger perch, Indo datmoid, Indonesian tigerfish, or finescale tigerfish, is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Lobotidae, the tripletails and tiger perches. This species is endemic to the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan in Indonesia.
Osteochilus vittatus is a species of cyprinid fish from Southeast Asia. Its common name is bonylip barb,Hasselt's bony-lipped barb, hard-lipped barb, or silver sharkminnow. It grows to 32 cm (13 in) SL.
Scaphiodonichthys acanthopterus is a freshwater fish of the family Cyprinidae. It is found in clear, fast-moving streams and tributaries of the Mekong, Nam Xam, Da and Chao Phraya river basins in Indochina. S. acanthopterus is most commonly found in waterways with a rocky bottom and under complete tree cover.
Altigena tonkinensis is a species of fish in the family Cyprinidae native to the Red River basin in China and Vietnam. This species was formerly the only member of the monospecific genus Vinalabeo.
Tor tambra, the Javan mahseer, is a species of mahseer native to Southeast Asia.
Tor ater, the dark mahseer, is a species of mahseer, a fish, native to Central Laos.
Pterocryptis inusitata, is a species of catfish found in Asia, in the middle Nam Theun River drainage which is a part of the Mekong River drainage in Laos.
Altigena is a genus of cyprinid freshwater fish found in the continental part of South East Asia. This genus was resurrected from Bangana by Maurice Kottelat in 2017.
