FBname: Jonklaas' s loach
Comments: Not enough is known of the biology of this species.  Inhabits shallow, slow-flowing rivulets, heavily shaded, with leaf debris (Ref. 11966).  This fish is not visible from the water surface, being concealed beneath leaf debris.  It is too rare to be of value to the aquarium trade which in any case exports large numbers of the superficially similar <i>Lepidocephalus thermalis</i>.
