Nanlahae

Schistura kloetzliae is a nemacheilid loach known only from the Mengla River system in Yunnan, China, and Luang Namtha province, northern Laos. It appears restricted to highly-oxygenated, fast-flowing riffles of small to medium streams with clear water and no aquatic plants. A series of large black blotches along the lateral line, each connected with blotches on the dorsal midline, separates it from congeners.
