Schistura sijuensis is a troglobitic species of stone loach endemic to India.
It is only recorded from Siju cave in the Garo Hills of Meghalaya state, Northeast India.
Schistura is a genus of fish in the stone loach family Nemacheilidae native to the streams and rivers of the southern and eastern Asia. Some of these species are troglobitic.
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 khugae is a species of ray-finned fish in the stone loach genus Schistura. It lives on the bottom of hill streams in the Khuga River, part of the Chindwin River system in Manipur, India.
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 nagodiensis, sometimes known as the Nagodi loach, is a species of freshwater fish in the family Nemacheilidae. It is endemic to the Sharavathi River basin in the central Western Ghats, India, where it is known from Nagodihole, its type locality. It grows to 2.8 cm (1.1 in) standard length. It is known from torrential hill streams with good vegetation cover at 600–800 m (2,000–2,600 ft) above sea level.
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 quaesita is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It has only been recorded from a single locality in the Nam Ngum drainage in Laos where it was seen in streams with a moderate to fast flow, among riffles, over beds made up of gravel or stone.
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.
Schistura robertsi is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is found on the western side of the Malay Peninsula from Tanintharyi Region in southern Myanmar to Trang Province in Peninsular Thailand and on Langkawi Island in Malaysia. It occurs in streams and hill creeks, inhabiting stretches with stream beds made up of gravel and small stones and it is threatened by developments for tourism, agriculture, livestock farming, residential property and commercial property. The specific name honours the American ichthyologist Tyson R. Roberts who collected most of the original type series which were used by Maurice Kottelat to describe the species.
Schistura rupecula is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is distributed through the eastern Himalayas from North Bengal through Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh in India and into Nepal. Its habitat is hill streams with pebbly stream beds while adults are often found in shallow water riffles and spring pools. The specific name rupecula means "rock dweller" which was given to the species by its describer John McClelland in reference to the hill streams around Simla from where the type specimens were collected. It is the type species of the genus Schistura.
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 and in riffles, over substrates consisting of gravel to stone. It is known to be raised in local subsistence fisheries and traded both nationally and internationally as an ornamental fish.

Schistura tirapensis is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It can be found in hill streams with pebble beds in the Tirap District in Arunachal Pradesh, India.
Schistura vinciguerrae is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura which is found in the Irrawaddy and Salween River basins in Myanmar, and the Chindwin drainage in Myanmar and Manipur, India. The specific name honours the Italian ichthyologist Decio Vinciguerra, who classified Burmese fishes and described the species, Schistura multifasciata, which S. vinciguerrae was separated from.
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.
