Schistura amplizona is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. It been recorded from only two river basins, the Nam Tha and Nam Youan, in northern Laos, of these the Nam Youam flows to Xishuangbanna in Yunnan, China and specimens of this species have been collected very close to the border so this species may occur in Yunnan. Its preferred habitat appears to be streams with a moderate flow and a bed of rock or pebbles. This species is harvested by local subsistence fisheries but the main potential threats are alteration of natural water courses through deforestation and agriculture.
Schistura athos is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura, its specific name athos is from, Athos, one of the Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, as do that of two other Schistura species endemic to the Nam Ou basin, S. aramis and S.porthos. It has only been recorded from the Nam Ou basin in Laos, as well as from a stretch of the Nam Noua, a tributary of the Nam Ou, in Vietnam. S. athos has been collected from rapids and stretches of the main river with stone substrates.
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 bairdi is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Schistura.
Schistura balteata is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. It found in hill streams draining from the Myinmoletkat Taung mountain in Tenasserim in southern Myanmar, and has now been recorded in western Thailand too. It is kept in the aquarium trade where it is often referred to as the sumo loach, the specific name derives from the Latin balteatus, which means baldric or shoulder strap, referring to the colour pattern this species.
Schistura beavani, the creek loach, is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. It is a widely distributed species, especially in the Ganges where it can be found in the Indian states of Meghalaya, Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal and Nepal, it has also been reported from Bangladesh and its presence in Meghalaya need to be confirmed. Adults are found in fast flowing, clear streams with a pebbly substrate.
Schistura bella is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Schistura.
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 coruscans is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura from the Nam San drainage, a tributary of the Nam Ngum in Laos.
Schistura kangjupkhulensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the most speciose genus of stone loaches, Schistura. It can be found in shallow, fast flowing streams with gravel substrates in the Tizu, Imphal and Nambul Rivers on the Chindwin Basin in Manipur, India. This species is very rare and appears to be decreasing and its populations are threatened by destructive fishing emtods as well as human alteration of its habitat by damming and water abstraction.
Schistura minuta is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura, a benthic species found in hill streams in the Iyei River drainage in Manipur, India.
Schistura nagaensis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is a benthic species which is found in hill streams with a fast currents over a gravel substrate. It occurs in the Tizu River in the Chindwin basin of Manipur and Nagaland, it may also occur in the Tizu River in Myanmar. Slash and burn cultivation within the drainage of the Tizu has contributed to a decline in quality of hill stream habitats and resultant threats to fish populations which are also threatened by destructive fishing techniques including the use of explosives and poisons.
Schistura papulifera is a critically endangered species of ray-finned fish, a troblobitic stone loach, in the genus Schistura endemic to the state of Meghalaya in India. It is currently known to be restricted to the Krem Synrang Pamiang cave system near the Jaintia Hills, where it is threatened by limestone extraction. This species lives in pools of standing water within the cave system preferring these to the streams of flowing water, being most numerous in the largest and deepest pools. This may be because the larger pools offer a more stable environment for the fish. The specific name is a compound of the Latin papula meaning "a small tumour" and fera meaning "to bear", referring to the growths around the lower half this species head.
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 reticulata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach in the genus Schistura. It is found in three hill streams in the Chindwin drainage basin on Manipur. In some areas, such as the Lokchao River at Moreh the populations of this species are severely threatened by development and border trade while in other areas it is threatened by destructive fishing techniques using poison and explosives.
Schistura reticulofasciata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found in streams with pebble beds in the Jaintia Hills in the Indian state of Meghalaya, India, part of the drainage of the Brahmaputra. It is traded in the aquarium trade and it is thought to be collected for this trade unsustainably and may also be threatened by habitat loss caused by deforestation.
Nemacheilus singhi is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Nemacheilus, although some authorities place it in the genus Schistura. This species has only been recorded from a single locality in Nagaland, India.
Nemacheilus yingjiangensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Nemacheilus, although some authorities place it in the genus Schistura. The species has only been recorded from the Daying River, a tributary of the Irrawaddy River in Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, China.
Schistura scaturigina is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found in high altitude streams with gravelly bottoms in the upper Ganges basin in Nepal and the Indian states of Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Sikkim and Uttar Pradesh.
