Belontia hasseltiJava Combtail
Osphronemidae · Cuvier, 1831
The Java combtail, Belontia hasselti, is a labyrinth fish from peninsular Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo and Java. Also known as the 'Malay combtail', it mostly inhabits acidic forest peat swamps with little water movement. It differs from its only congener, B. signata, in its brownish grey body and the mosaic pattern in its unpaired fins. Growing to 200 mm SL, it will eat very small fishes and is not recommended for the average community aquarium.

Puntigrus anchisporus
Cyprinidae · Vaillant, 1902
Puntigrus anchisporus is a small cyprinid endemic to Borneo, recorded from Kalimantan in Indonesia and much of Sarawak in Malaysia. One of the four-barred species once called the 'Puntius tetrazona group', it has a complete lateral line, a black dorsal fin with a red outer band and red pelvic fins. It occasionally appears in the hobby, but the trade relies largely on commercially-produced 'tiger barbs' of questionable origin.
