Encheloclarias is a genus of airbreathing catfishes endemic to Southeast Asia. [1]
There are currently seven recognized species in this genus: [2]
Encheloclarias are often found deep within the substratum of peat swamps. [1]
This genus differs from Heterobranchus and Dinotopterus in lacking extensions of the neural spine supporting the adipose fin. [1]
Pangio is a genus of small Asian freshwater fish in the true loach family Cobitidae. In earlier taxonomic schemes it was known as Acanthophthalmus. The "kuhli loach" is well-known in the aquarium trade and commonly identified as P. kuhlii, but most individuals actually appear to be P. semicincta.
Rasbora is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae. They are native to freshwater habitats in South and Southeast Asia, as well as southeast China. A single species, R. gerlachi, is only known from an old specimen that reputedly originated from Africa (Cameroon), but this locality is considered doubtful. They are small, up to 17 cm (6.7 in) long, although most species do not surpass 10 cm (4 in) and many have a dark horizontal stripe.
Clarias is a genus of catfishes of the family Clariidae, the airbreathing catfishes. The name is derived from the Greek chlaros, which means lively, in reference to the ability of the fish to live for a long time out of water.
Pseudolaguvia is a genus of South Asian river catfishes. These species inhabit hill streams and large rivers. P. tenebricosa is found in fast running, clear water; the river has a sandy bottom and numerous rocks and boulders and aquatic vegetation is absent. P. inornata is from clear, shallow, moderately flowing streams with a predominantly sandy bottom. P. muricata is found in clear, shallow, slow-flowing streams with a mixed substrate of sand and detritus; these fish are found amongst detritus in areas with current. P. ferula is also found in swift flowing waters with a mixed rocky/sandy bottom.
Glyptothorax is a genus of catfishes order Siluriformes of the family Sisoridae. It is the most species-rich and widely distributed genus in the family with new species being discovered on a regular basis. These species are distributed in the Black Sea basin, northern Turkey, south and east to the Yangtze River drainage in China and south throughout Indo-China to Java, Indonesia. They are found in Asia Minor and southwards to Southeast Asia. The genus is very diverse in the Indian subcontinent. Southeast Asian species tend to have restricted distributions.
Akysis is the largest genus of catfishes of the family Akysidae.
Barbodes is a genus of small to medium-sized cyprinid fish native to tropical Asia. The majority of the species are from Southeast Asia. Many species are threatened and some from the Philippines are already extinct. A survey carried out in 1992 only found three of the endemic Barbodes species, and only two were found in 2008. Several members of this genus were formerly included in Puntius.
Bagrichthys is a genus of bagrid catfishes.
Hemibagrus is a genus of catfishes of the family Bagridae.
Nanobagrus is a genus of bagrid catfishes found in Southeast Asia. All species are quite small fish.
Mystus is a genus of fish in the family Bagridae native to Asia. Phylogenetic relationships within this genus are poorly understood, though it has been suggested that there are two major lineages.
Leiocassis is a genus of bagrid catfishes found mostly in Southeast Asia with some species occurring in China.
Pseudomystus is a genus of catfishes of the family Bagridae.
Pseudecheneis is a genus of sisorid catfishes native to Asia.
Encheloclarias velatus is a species of airbreathing catfish endemic to Indonesia. It is only known from the Batang Hari drainage in central Sumatra, and Bintan Island.
Betta is a large genus of small, active, often colorful, freshwater ray-finned fishes, in the gourami family (Osphronemidae). The best known Betta species is B. splendens, commonly known as the Siamese fighting fish and often kept as an aquarium pet.
Silurichthys is a genus of sheatfishes native to Asia.
Ompok is a genus of fish in the family Siluridae found in lakes and large rivers throughout South and Southeast Asia.
Betta aurigans is a species of gourami endemic to the island of Natuna Besar, north-west of the island of Borneo The species name aurigans is so named after the Latin for gold, due to the colouring of the scales of the fish. According to Linke, they live in "blackwater swamp regions"
