Hampala sabana is a species of cyprinid in the genus Hampala that is native to Malaysia [2]
This species reaches a maximum length of 41.0 centimetres (16.1 in) [2] and has a distinctive single dark band below the dorsal fin [3] similar to that of Barbodes sellifer. Although a second dark mark may develop at the base of the tail as it reaches maturity, with a dark line along the lateral line connecting the two marks. Depending on the habitat, the fins may be a light cream color or a dark orange-red.
Endemic to the Malaysian state of Sabah, it is predominately found in the central-eastern region of the state in which it dominates its range from others of its genus. [4]
The usual habitat of this species comprises clear and well-oxygenated running waters with substrates of sand, gravel, rock, or mud. Such habitats are usually tropical rainforest rivers and stream catchments but due to development these habitats are modified and converted to palm or rubber plantations, they can still survive in these habitats but in much lower abundance, making them rare [5]
As an active predator, it predominately feeds on other fish, frogs, and insects, preferring to inhabit deep and slower river stretches to ambush unsuspecting prey.
It's been observed to school together when young (even with other species like Rasbora sumatrana and Nematabramis everetii ), [6] and this behavior may possibly be continued throughout its life.
In the Segama river system, it has been found to live sympatricly with other species such as Luciosoma pellegrini , Nematabramis everetti , Garra borneensis , Gastromyzon lepidogaster , Mystus sabanus , and Pangasius tubbi . [7]
The otter civet is a semiaquatic viverrid native to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. It is believed to be undergoing severe population decline due to habitat destruction and is classified as an endangered species by the IUCN Red List.
The harlequin rasbora is a small fish in the family Cyprinidae. The species became an instant favorite among aquarists after its introduction in the early 1900s and is the best known and most widely kept species among the rasboras. In 1935, an image of a trio of harlequin rasboras, stamped in 14k gold, would grace the cover of the first edition of William T. Innes's classic Exotic Aquarium Fishes and would remain so through all 19 editions.
The blackline rasbora is a fish of the family Cyprinidae found in Asia in the Mekong, Chao Phraya, and Mae Klong basins, and also the northern Malay Peninsula. In the aquarium trade, it is known by a variety of other names, including red-tailed rasbora, bora bora rasbora, and brilliant rasbora.
The eyespot rasbora is a small fish belonging to the Family Cyprinidae, subfamily Danioninae, which is known by the common names of ocellated rasbora, hi-spot rasbora, and eye-spot rasbora, an allusion to the marking situated upon the dorsal fin. This small fish is a popular aquarium fish, having been one of the species featured in the landmark textbook Exotic Aquarium Fishes by Dr William T. Innes. Its appearance in this work only occurs in later editions of the book, however, therefore the species is not subject to the same degree of aquarium domestication as the more familiar harlequin rasbora.
The bonytail chub or bonytail is a cyprinid freshwater fish native to the Colorado River basin of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming in the southwestern United States; it has been extirpated from the part of the basin in Mexico. It was once abundant and widespread in the basin, its numbers and range have declined to the point where it has been listed as endangered since 1980 (ESA) and 1986 (IUCN), a fate shared by the other large Colorado basin endemic fish species like the Colorado pikeminnow, humpback chub, and razorback sucker. It is now the rarest of the endemic big-river fishes of the Colorado River. There are 20 species in the genus Gila, seven of which are found in Arizona.
Hampala is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cyprinidae, the family which includes the carps, barbs and related fishes. The fishies in this genus are found in South-East Asia.
The Malaysian giant turtle or Bornean river turtle is a species of turtle in the family Bataguridae. It is monotypic within the genus Orlitia. It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia.
The greater scissortail is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora. It inhabits forest creeks in Malaysia, Indonesia and the lower Mekong basin.
The goldstripe rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora. It is a benthopelagic freshwater fish found in Malaysia and Indonesia.
The twospot rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora native to south east asia. It is one of the members of the Sumatrana group.
Rasbora kottelati is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Danionidae. It is endemic to northwestern Borneo and occurs in both Sarawak (Malaysia) and Brunei. It is a pelagic species associated with blackwater habitats in peat swamp forests. It can grow to 7 cm (2.8 in) standard length.
The yellow rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora from Southeast Asia. It is a primarily freshwater fish originally from Java island in Indonesia. It is known as the Wader pari fish in the Indonesian language. In addition, it was a protein source for the local community during the old days.
The largescaled rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora. It is a lotic species found in the Mekong basin and in Malaysia.
The dwarf rasbora is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Boraras, native to freshwater habitats of southeast Asia. It grows to be about 10–20mm long at adulthood, the maximum length can reach 25mm. Dwarf Rasbora are shoaling fish which means they are always in groups of 8 fish or more. They are very peaceful species that don't harm anyone or anything.
Hampala macrolepidota, the hampala barb, is a relatively large southeast Asian species of cyprinid from the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins, as well as Peninsular Malaysia and the Greater Sundas. It prefers running rivers and streams, but can be seen in most freshwater habitats except torrents, small creeks and shallow swamps. This predatory species reaches up to 70 cm (2.3 ft) in length and it is common at half that size.
The giant red tail gourami is a large species of gourami belonging to the family Osphronemidae. This endangered fish is native to the Southeast Asian island of Borneo, where only known from the Kinabatangan and Segama river basins in Sabah, East Malaysia. First described in 1992 based on an aquarium specimen, its exact range was not entirely certain, leading some source to incorrectly also report it from Indonesia.
Rasbora vulgaris is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora. It is a member of the R. paviana-subgroup, which comprises five species from Indochina and the Malay Peninsula
Eirmotus octozona is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish beloning to the family Cyprinidae, a diverse family which includes the carps, barbs, minnows and related fishes. This species is thought to be found in southern Peninsular Malaysia but its range is uncertain as it is only known from the aquarium trade. It was first formally described in 1959 by the American ichthyologist Leonard Peter Schultz with its type locality given as Bueng Boraphet in central Thailand. This is likely to be an error as there is no suitable habitat, peat swamp, for Eirmotus species at this location and it has not been recorded there since. Like other species in the genus Eirmotus, of which this is the [[type species, this species is a small fish with a maximum published standard length of 3.6 cm (1.4 in).
The Sabah grizzled langur, also known as the Saban grizzled langur, is a species of monkey in the family Cercopithecidae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Hose's langur, Presbytis hosei. The Sabah grizzled langur is native to the island of Borneo in the province of Sabah in Malaysia, with part of its range in Indonesia. It is listed as endangered by the IUCN due primarily to habitat loss, fragmentation and hunting.
Rasbora marinae, or Marina's rasbora, is a recently described species of cyprinid fish in the genus Rasbora, in 2020. Several Rasbora specimens from 1996 - 2005, resembling R. cephalotaenia were examined and found to be a new species, due to their unique body pattern in adulthood.
