Serpenticobitis zonata

Serpenticobitidae · Kottelat, 1998

Serpenticobitis zonata is a small loach from the Xe Bangfai and Xe Bang Hiang drainages in Laos, and Chanthaburi province in south-eastern Thailand. Fish sold under this name are sporadically available, but the majority appear to be the congener S. octozona. S. zonata has a pale body with 7-8 regular dark vertical bars, sometimes with thin dark bars on the interspaces. It inhabits shallow, fast-flowing, highly-oxygenated headwaters and minor tributaries.
