Acrochordonichthys rugosusAsian Banjo Catfish
Akysidae · Bleeker, 1846
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.

Lepidocephalus macrochir
Cobitidae · Bleeker, 1854
Lepidocephalus macrochir is a cobitid loach described from Sumatra and since recorded from Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Java and Borneo. It is traded sporadically as the 'pinky loach', 'deep water kuhli loach' and 'Borneo high body cave loach'. Although sometimes said to be a cave loach, Thai collectors report it from deep water, and in aquaria it spends a lot of time buried in soft substrates.
