Gastromyzon sp. 'SK02' is an undescribed hillstream loach from the Sungai Amandit headwaters in South Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. The Amandit is a tributary of the Barito basin in the Meratus mountain range. Based on colour pattern this species appears similar to members of the G. ridens group, and it has occasionally been maintained by private collectors. Like its congeners it needs clean, well-oxygenated water with strong flow.

Garra borneensis is a cyprinid endemic to northern and western Borneo, in Kalimantan, Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak. No other member of the genus is known from the island. An obligate dweller of swiftly-flowing streams and headwaters, it lives in clear, oxygen-saturated water over gravel, rocks and bedrock carpeted with biofilm.
