Osteochilus microcephalus

A broad dark stripe runs along the side to the tail base in this freshwater species. It occurs in a range of habitats, from streams to sluggish lowland waters, and enters flooded forest and grassland during high water.

FishBase records 24 cm standard length, measured without the tail fin, above the present 5–7 cm grade. The species is recorded across Southeast Asia, but the supplier does not give this batch’s collection site.

Prepare stable freshwater with space for growth beyond the listed juvenile grade. Confirm the lot’s holding-water measurements and accepted foods before transfer, and use those values for acclimation. Monitor feeding and interactions before mixing with other stock. Published natural climate and water-range records are not presented here as verified aquarium targets.
