It normally occurs in the rapids and riffles of medium-sized rivers and streams but it can also be found in reaches with a slow current and sandy substrate. This species appears to have some resistance to organic pollution and occurs in streams flowing through settlements, and is often the last fish species to remain in such streams. It is found in the coastal drainages in southern and central Vietnam and also in Laos in some rivers which rise there before flowing into Vietnam.
Schistura nicholsi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found in the Mekong basin of north eastern Thailand, Laos and it is also likely to be found in Cambodia. It occurs in shallow riffles with moderate to fast flows. Human modification of the rivers' morphology through such activities as logging and agriculture are affecting this species range. However, its distribution covers a wide geographic range and it is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. The specific name honors John Treadwell Nichols (1883-1958) who was curator of fishes at the American Museum of Natural History and who made an important contribution to the ichthyology of China, and especially to the knowledge of loaches.
Schistura nomi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. This species is found in streams which have a moderate to fast current, in riffles, where the bed consists of gravel to stone in the Kong River in Laos. The specific name honours a Mr Nom who was the describer, Maurice Kottelat's, driver in Laos.
Schistura novemradiata is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura which has been recorded from a single locality in the upper Nam Tha watershed in Laos where it was found in a small stream over a substrate consisting of gravel and stone.
Schistura paucicincta is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. 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 porthos is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura from the Mekong basin; the Nam Ngiap, Nam Khan, Nam Xuang, Nam Ou and Nam Tha drainages in northern Laos and the Luosuojiang drainage in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.

Schistura psittacula is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach in the genus Schistura. It is found in two rivers in central Vietnam where it inhabits riffles in medium-sized mountain rivers and streams in riffles which have a swift current over gravel beds and feeing on aquatic invertebrates.
Schistura reidi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura.

Schistura susannae is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It occurs in small mountain streams which have waterfalls and small riffles, where it is usually observed in pools with gravel or sandy bottoms.
