The Vietnamese giraffe loach, Annamia normani, is a hillstream loach from Mekong tributaries in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and from coastal Vietnam. An obligate resident of riffles and rapids, it has been traded as the 'Vietnamese lizard loach' and 'Vietnamese Homaloptera'. Adults studied in the Duc My River were specialised grazers of cyanobacteria. Many of its known habitats are threatened by planned hydroelectric projects.
