The Asian banjo catfish, Acrochordonichthys rugosus, is an akysid catfish from Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand. The most commonly encountered member of the genus in the trade, it is still by no means common, and body colouration varies widely even among fish from a single locality. Like its congeners it can secrete a milky substance from the axillary pore when stressed, and this can quickly kill other fishes in the confines of an aquarium.

Hemibagrus planiceps is a bagrid catfish endemic to western Java, known only from seven river systems including the Citarum and Ciliwung. It occurs in the upper parts of river basins, in clear, fast-flowing water over rock or sand. It has been confused in the past with H. gracilis, H. velox and H. bongan, and the population once thought to inhabit northwestern Peninsular Malaysia has been described as H. divaricatus.
