A unique and purely freshwater representative of the largely marine family of tonguefish or tongue sole, the Asian Freshwater Tonguefish is found throughout Thailand, Laos, and parts of Vietnam. In the wild it inhabits shallow, sandy habitat where it spends most of its time buried under fine sand, nearly invisible, waiting to ambush small prey. In the aquarium, they require a fine sand substrate and will do best with few, peaceful tankmates as they are easily outcompeted for food. Most will feed on frozen foods like bloodworms or mysis shrimp although some may require live foods at first.

The New Guinea Datnoid or New Guinea Tigerfish (NGT) is a large growing predatory perch found in brackish and fresh waters in Indonesia’s West Papua Province and Papua New Guinea, specifically the Fly River and its tributaries. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of habitat types but are typically found in warm, slow moving stretches of rivers or lakes in areas close to overhanging vegetation. An ambush predator, they tend to hang motionless in the water awaiting smaller fish or invertebrates to swim by, using quick reflexes and a huge protrusible jaw to literally inhale prey items. In the aquarium, they require well-oxygenated water and are sensitive to water quality, so regular water changes are important to keep them thriving. They will tolerate brackish conditions but do not require them to thrive. Tankmates should be chosen carefully as they can eat surprisingly large fish and other more aggressive or very active fish will likely stress them out and potentially cause their distinct pattern of bars to fade.

The High Fin Mystus or Silver Lancer Catfish is a striking, rarely encountered bagrid cat found in the major freshwater rivers of Thailand, typically in waters with moderate depth and current. As their common name suggests, their most prominent feature is an extremely elongated dorsal fin, the exact purpose of which in is unknown. This medium growing catfish is peaceful and with their relatively small mouths pose little threat to tankmates with the exception of very small fish or invertebrates. In the aquarium, they should be given plenty of open swimming space and do best on a substrate of fine sand, which they will sift through to find food.

A popular brackish water aquarium fish, the Mono argenteus or Moony is an extremely widespread fish found throughout the Indo-Pacific region and Africa. This species is amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), Monos will do best in brackish or marine aquariums. Although juvenile Monos can tolerate pure freshwater for a while, they will need to be transferred to a brackish or full marine aquarium later in life. A social fish often found in large aggregations, they do well in groups of 5 or more.

An unusual, large growing catfish found in most larger bodies of freshwater in Southeast Asia, the Blue Sheatfish or Bleeker’s Sheathfish is an important food fish throughout its native range. As an active open water species of catfish, it is typically found in rivers with moderate to strong flow and undertakes large migrations in the wild influenced by the region’s annual flooding pattern. A predator, they are something of a generalist feeder and will typically accept frozen and prepared foods. In an appropriately large aquarium, they are an impressive, showy fish which will rarely bother tankmates too large to be eaten and prefer at least moderate water movement.

A popular brackish water aquarium fish, the Scat occurs in three distinct color forms (green, silver, and red) which were once thought to be different species but are now all considered to be variants of the extremely widespread S. argus. Found along nearly every coastline of the Indo-Pacific region, scats are amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), scats will do best in brackish or marine aquariums. The green scat is a t common color variant of S. argus, and is typically found in estuaries and mangrove forests. Although juvenile scats can tolerate pure freshwater for a while, they will need to be transferred to a brackish or full marine aquarium later in life. A social fish often found in large aggregations, they do well in groups of 5 or more.

One of a number of so-called freshwater “sharks” in the Cyprinid family (no actual relation to marine sharks), the colorful Rainbow Shark has been popular in the aquarium hobby for decades. Originating in well-oxygenated shallow streams in the Mekong basin in Southeast Asia, this fish is a medium growing hardy omnivore and grazer that makes a colorful addition to a medium or large community aquarium. Although smaller fish do well in groups, they tend to become more solitary as they grow and can become territorial towards one another or other similar looking fish as adults. Ideal tankmates include medium peaceful cichlids, barbs, or larger rainbowfish.

A rarely seen and beautifully marked species of halfbeak originating in Borneo, the Redline or Tengah Halfbeak is unlike most of its relatives as it is found not in brackish water or estuarine areas but in soft, acidic peat swamps far inland. In the aquarium, this unique surface dwelling species makes an excellent tankmate for similar Southeast Asian blackwater fish like microrasboras, dwarf or chocolate gourami, and other species found in similar warm, acidic, shallow water habitat. This species does best in small groups and in an aquarium approximating their wild habitat with tannin-rich water, minimal current, and plenty of surface cover in the form of floating vegetation or branching driftwood close to the water’s surface.

The Indo Datnoid or Indo Tigerfish (IT) is found throughout Peninsular Malaysia and the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Borneo, and likely parts of East Java as well. In the wild, they inhabit a variety of habitat types but are typically found in warm, slow moving stretches of rivers or lakes in areas close to overhanging vegetation. An ambush predator, they tend to hang motionless in the water awaiting smaller fish or invertebrates to swim by, using quick reflexes and a huge protrusible jaw to literally inhale prey items. Specimens from Sumatra are especially colorful and well-marked, with the 4 bar variant found in the region among the more sought after varieties of Indo Datnoid in the trade. In the aquarium, they require well-oxygenated water and are sensitive to water quality, so regular water changes are important to keep them thriving. Tankmates should be chosen carefully as they can eat surprisingly large fish and other more aggressive or very active fish will likely stress them out and potentially cause their distinct pattern of bars to fade.
