Osteochilus lini grows to 15 cm (5.9 in) SL.[2] It inhabits marshlands and swamps, but also uses streams and river as passage routes, and can move into flooded forests and fields. It is locally common in the Mekong basin and captured as a foodfish, together with the very common Osteochilus vittatus.[1]
