Acrossocheilus paradoxusTaiwan Banded Barb
Cyprinidae · Günther, 1868
The Taiwan banded barb, Acrossocheilus paradoxus, is a cyprinid native to Taiwan, where it occurs throughout western and northeastern river drainages. It inhabits subtropical streams and small to medium rivers at medium to relatively high altitudes, and in the aquarium needs spotless, well-oxygenated water with moderate flow. Growing to around 200 mm SL, it needs a tank of at least 180 x 45 cm.

Rhinogobius formosanus
Gobiidae · Oshima, 1919
Rhinogobius formosanus is a goby endemic to river systems of northern and northeastern Taiwan. Previously considered a subspecies of R. nagoyae, it has generally been accepted as distinct since 2008. Irregular, worm-like, reddish-brown lines on the cheek and opercle separate it from other Taiwanese Rhinogobius. Like many fishes from running water it needs spotless water and does best in a tank set up to simulate a flowing stream.
