Gyrinocheilus Aymonieri
''Gyrinocheilus aymonieri'' is a freshwater fish native to large parts of Southeast Asia. It is of interest as a local food source and for the aquarium trade. Its common names include honey sucker, sucking loach and Chinese algae eater. ''G. aymonieri'' is found in the Chao Phraya basin, northern Malay Peninsula, Mekong basin (in Cambodia, Yunnan province in China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam), Mae Klong basin and the Xe Bang Fai River. It is most often seen in large rivers, occasionally entering flooded fields. The fish spends most of its time on flat surfaces, such as rocks, in flowing water, using its unusually formed inferior mouth to attach itself to rocks in stronger flows. The fish are sold in local markets as a food source and small fish are used in preparation of ''prahok''. Physical description ''G. aymonieri'' has been recorded as reaching at least Fish measurement#Overall length, SL and is the only species in the genus to have 9 branched dorsal rays and 36–40 l ...

Yasuhikotakia Morleti
The skunk loach, skunk botia or Hora's loach (''Yasuhikotakia morleti''; syn. ''Botia morleti'', ''Botia horae'') is a species of botiid loach found in the Mekong River basin in Indochina, as well as the Chao Phraya and Mae Klong basins in Thailand. The maximum size is 10 cm (4 in) and it occurs in water with parameters 26 - 30 °C (79 to 86 °F) temperature, pH 6.0 to 8.0, hardness 5.0 to 12.0. It feeds on live crustaceans, insects, snails and other invertebrates. Despite being seen frequently in the aquarium trade, skunk loaches tend to be a naturally territorial fish, and will chase any (and all) other tankmates, regardless of size. Thus they may not suitable for community-style tanks, unless part of that community consists of a small school of skunk botia; a school can create a hierarchy amongst themselves and spread out their natural tension evenly. Smaller fish and bottom feeders in the tank can be pursued, attacked and/or killed. If not physically m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tetraodon Biocellatus
''Dichotomyctere ocellatus'' (syn. ''Tetraodon biocellatus''), commonly the figure 8 puffer or eyespot puffer, is a pufferfish found in freshwater in Southeast Asia. It is known from the lower reaches of the Mekong (Cambodia), the Peninsular Malaysia as well as Borneo (Sarawak, Kalimantan). Characteristics Figure 8 puffers grow to about total length (TL). They are colourful fish, with greenish yellow patterns on their backs. These patterns vary greatly from fish to fish, but the markings either side of the caudal fin resemble the number eight, or eye-spots (earning the species another common name as "eyespot puffer"). Figure 8 puffers are relatively peaceful among Tetraodontidae, and have been kept successfully with other fish such as bumblebee gobies and mollies, but as with all pufferfish there is a risk that tankmates will not be tolerated. Like all members of its family, the figure 8 puffer is capable of inflating itself with water or air when stressed or otherwise frigh ...
