The Yoma danio, Danio feegradei, is a cyprinid considered endemic to the western slopes of the Rakhine Yoma in western Myanmar. Seen in the hobby since around 2005, it is traded under names such as 'Danio sp. Yoma', 'D. sp. gold laser' and 'D. sp. rocket'. The spot-like markings on the flanks vary, and some specimens lack them entirely. It inhabits small, seasonal forest streams, and its constant activity suits it to larger tanks with similarly sized fishes.

This species has a distinctive colour pattern compared with most congeners.

The blue moon 'danio', Devario xyrops, is a devario known only from small streams draining the western slope of the Rakhine Yoma in western Myanmar. Before its description it was sometimes called D. sp. 'broken line'. A dark blotch of 4 or 5 short vertical bars on the front of the flank and a wide dark P stripe behind it are shared only with D. anomalus, which has a shallower body and more lateral line scales.

Garra rakhinica is a small cyprinid known only from its type locality, a minor stream on the western slope of the Rakhine Yoma, western Myanmar. In March 1998 that stream was reduced to a series of interconnected pools of clear water over gravel and rocks, with no aquatic vegetation. The body is almost uniform greyish, with a dark spot behind the upper edge of the opercle and white tips to the caudal-fin lobes.
