Balung

Betta balunga is a mouthbrooding labyrinth fish from Borneo, found from Tawau in Sabah, Malaysia, south to the Sebuku and Mahakam basins in Indonesia. A member of the Betta akarensis group, it has a reddish-orange iris in life. In the Sebuku it lives in very shallow forest streams among roots and leaf litter, and in the Mahakam basin in sluggish blackwater streams among submerged marginal vegetation.

Nematabramis everetti is a cyprinid endemic to Borneo, known from Sarawak and Sabah plus East and North Kalimantan. It has a distinctive dark, vertically-elongate humeral marking, more prominent than in other Nematabramis species. Juveniles and subadults appear to favour fast-moving water, while adults are found in deeper, slower stretches of minor tributaries.

Nematabramis steindachnerii is a cyprinid endemic to northern and central Borneo, in Sarawak, Sabah, Brunei and North and East Kalimantan. It has barbels longer than the head but not reaching beyond the pectoral-fin base, and a relatively slender body with a short head.
