Schistura malaisei
Schistura malaisei is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It is a benthic species of fast-flow, well-oxygenated, cool water in the Irrawaddy River basin of Myanmar and Yunnan. It can be found in the aquarium trade and over exploitation may threaten local populations.[1] The specific name honours Swedish entomologist René Malaise (1892-1978), who collected type and in whose fish collections from Burma (1933-1935), including specimens from some remote localities, Maurice Kottelat found the type specimen from which he described the species.[3]
