Schistura geisleri is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Schistura, the most speciose of the genera within the stone loach family, Nemacheilidae. Its known range is in the upper parts of the Chao Praya in Thailand but it has also been reported from the Tapi River in Peninsular Thailand, as it has not been recorded from the darainages between these two systems the taxonomic status of the Tapi population may need to be reassessed. Its habitat is slow flowing streams with depths no greater than 30 cm during the dry season and in shallow riffles with a substrate consisting of pebbles which are up to 5 cm in diameter, with a moderate current and clear water. The specific name honours the German aquarist Rolf Geisler (1925-2012), in thanks for his "valuable help".

This species has only been recorded from the drainage basins of the Nam Theun and Nam Gnouang, tributaries of the Mekong in Laos. It occurs in streams with a moderate to fast current and a substrate which varies from gravel to stone, in riffles. It is threatened by the construction of dams, as well as logging, deforestation, agriculture and gold mining.

It is only known from the Mae Nam Noi drainage, a tributary of the Salween River which forms the border between Thailand and Myanmar. This species inhabits streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over beds varying from gravel to stone but it has also been recorded in small forest streams in very shallow water.
Schistura personata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura.It has only been recorded in the Nam San, a tributary of the Nam Ngum in the Mekong Basin of Laos where it can be found in moderately fast or fast flowing streams, among riffles, with a stone or gravel bed. Its population has been impacted by dams and by deforestation, agriculture and small scale gold mining and it is thought that it has declined.
Schistura pertica is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It has only been recorded once, in 1997, from a very small stream entering the Nam Ou River, downstream of the Muang Khoa River in northern Laos, it is expected to occur elsewhere in the Nam Ou drainage. It was observed in streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over beds varying from gravel to stone
Schistura schultzi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It has been recorded from the Mekong in Chiang Rai Province and Loei Province in Thailand, it should also be present in Bokeo Province in Laos. Almost nothing is known about this species biology. The specific name honours Leonard Peter Schultz (1901-1986) who was Curator of Fishes at the United States National Museum.
Schistura sexcauda is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found in the basin of the Chao Phraya River in central Thailand where it has been recorded in streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over substrates consisting of gravel to stone. Some authorities regard Schistura fowleriana as a synonym of this species.
Schistura similis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone age, in the genus Schistura. It occurs in the Mae Nam Noi drainage, a tributary of the Salween which forms the border between Thailand and Myanmar.

It has been recorded in streams with a moderate to fast current, in riffles, over substrates consisting of gravel to stone.
Schistura thanho is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach in the genus Schistura. It has only been recorded in the Vinh Thanh River drainage in Central Vietnam where it occurs in riffles with a very fast current. It is threatened by overfishing, the degradation and loss of habitat caused by dam constructions and deforestation resulting in the silting up of the streams it occurs in. The specific name is a reference to the “friendly people” of the Tha Nho ethnic community in Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam, where the type locality of this species is located.
Schistura zonata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura from hill streams in Assam, India. Its exact distribution is unknown and there have been records of this species since the type specimens were collected. Some authorities include Nemacheilus mugah as a synonym of S. zonata, which in turn has been regarded as a synonym of Schistura scaturigina, but these views are not currently widely accepted.
