Gastromyzon lepidogaster is a hillstream loach from northern Borneo and the most widely-distributed member of the genus. It occurs in Sabah, Brunei and East Kalimantan. Colour is variable: large adults may be bright green, orange or barred, and can apparently change from barred to plain in a few seconds. It is occasionally available in the trade, where the orange form is particularly sought after.
