The false SAE, Garra cambodgiensis, is a cyprinid from the Mekong, Chao Phraya and Mae Klong basins and northern Peninsular Malaysia. It is still traded as Garra taeniata and is often confused with the Crossocheilus species sold as 'Siamese algae eater'. In this species the dark lateral stripe ends at the caudal peduncle, and a sucker formed by the lower lip is present. It inhabits swiftly-flowing headwaters and tributaries.

The mini dragon loach, Schistura pridii, is a small nemacheilid loach endemic to tributary streams of the upper Chao Phraya in northern Thailand. Only a handful of populations are known, most inside the Doi Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, in swift, shallow forest hill streams at around 950-1250 m. Despite its endangered status it is available in the trade sporadically. Four black bars on a yellow base, usually forming saddles, identify it.

Garra fuliginosa is a cyprinid from the Mekong basin in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, and the Chao Phraya and Mae Klong in Thailand. It tends to inhabit swiftly-flowing headwaters and tributaries with clear, oxygen-saturated water. Like other Garra it has a lower lip modified to form a mental adhesive disc for clinging to surfaces. The body is dark with random lighter scales.
