Rhinogobius mekongianus
Gobiidae · Pellegrin & Fang, 1940
Rhinogobius mekongianus is a goby from the middle and upper Mekong basin in Laos, Vietnam and Thailand. Its name has been misapplied in the aquarium trade to the congener R. chiengmaiensis, and it does not appear to have been on the market itself. It has 7-8 irregular dark markings on the body (vs. 5 in R. chiengmaiensis), and records from the Chao Phraya drainage most likely refer to that species.
Hypsibarbus malcolmiGoldfin Tinfoil Barb
Cyprinidae · Smith, 1945
The goldfin tinfoil barb, Hypsibarbus malcolmi, is a large cyprinid from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Peninsular Malaysia. It occurs throughout the Mekong system and in the Chao Phraya and Maeklong drainages, and in the Mekong migrates seasonally between larger river channels and flooded forests. Reaching 400 to 500 mm, it is suitable only for public aquaria or the very largest private set-ups.
