Schistura menanensis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach in the genus Schistura. It has only been recorded the Mae Nam Nan drainage, a branch of the Chao Phraya in Thailand where it has been observed in streams with moderate to fast currents, in riffles, with gravel to stone beds.

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 nudidorsum is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. 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 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.

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.

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.
