Gastromyzon aeroides is a hillstream loach endemic to northern Borneo, recorded from western Sabah in Malaysia and the Temburong basin in Brunei. The dorsal, caudal and anal fins are blue in life, and the plain brown body separates it from the other two species in the G. punctulatus group. Like its congeners it needs swift, clean, well-oxygenated water.
