A large growing schooling fish found in clear, fast-moving waters in Sabah, north Borneo, Hampala sabana is a predatory but relatively peaceful barb. In the aquarium, they make an excellent dither fish for other large predatory fish and will do best with some water movement and frequent large water changes. Like many larger barbs, they can be skittish and first and will do best in a group of 3-5 fish. Some cover in the form of driftwood or artificial plants (live ones will be eaten) will help them settle into the aquarium environment.

An uncommonly imported and distinctly patterned freshwater spiny eel, the Black Pearl Spiny Eel (Mastacembelus notophthalmus) believed to inhabit Malaysia and Sumatra in Indonesia, but their distribution and habitat in the wild remains unclear. Like their close relative the Fire Eel, this species is often shy at first but are intelligent and personable fish which will soon learn to beg for food and recognize their owners. Largely insectivorous in the wild, they will readily feed on live earthworms at first and can be weaned on to frozen foods over time. Although they can and sometimes will eat smaller fish, they are not particularly active hunters and most fast moving tankmates will not be at risk of becoming a meal. Hardy and adaptable, they make an excellent addition to an aquarium large enough to house what will be a substantially large fish as an adult and will get along well with most tankmates.

Often shy at first, they will do best in an aquarium with ample hiding spaces and moderate to strong water movement. Over time, they will become more bold and active in the aquarium.

An uncommonly seen dwarf puffer species known from Borneo and Sulawesi, the Red Eye Red Tailed Puffer is a true freshwater puffer that in habits warm acidic waters. In the wild, they are often found in loose aggregations but are not necessarily as social as some other freshwater puffer species. Aquarium care should replicate their wild habitat as closely as possible, with soft water, little water movement, and plenty of cover in the form of driftwood, aquatic/floating plants, or rockwork. The addition of tannins from botanicals like Indian Almond Leaves are helpful to make this species feel at home in the aquarium. Like all freshwater puffers their specialized teeth form a beak that needs to be worn down by hard-shelled food items like freshwater snails or hard-shelled shrimp should be offered regularly in addition to other protein rich live or frozen foods. A relatively peaceful species, the Red Eye Red Tailed Puffer can be kept in groups provided plenty of space is provided, and the species is sexually dimorphic, with males displaying distinctive horizontal stripes along the body, and a more reticulated/spotted pattern shown in females.

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. 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.

An intricately marked member of the spiny eel family (Mastacembelidae), the Tiretrack Eel is found in river systems throughout much of Southeast Asia including Java and Sumatra in Indonesia.

In the aquarium, Tiretrack Eels are often shy at first but are intelligent and personable fish which will soon learn to beg for food and recognize their owners. A predator in the wild, they will readily feed on live feeder fish and earthworms at first and can be weaned on to frozen foods over time. Hardy and adaptable, they make an excellent addition to an aquarium large enough to house what will be a substantially large fish as an adult and will get along well with most tankmates too large to be eaten.

The Indian Dwarf Mudskipper is a fascinating member of the family Gobiidae which like all mudskippers are specially adapted for life outside of the water. Found throughout coastal India and Bangladesh, this species inhabits mangrove swamps and tidal mud flats, often in large groups with a defined social hierarchy. In the wild, they are adept predators that use their modified pectoral fins to hop across land and climb trees to catch insects and small crustaceans but in the aquarium will accept most frozen and freeze dried foods. An ideal aquarium setup for this species would include relatively shallow water with plenty of driftwood or other structure emerging above the waters surface giving them space to climb and form territories. The Indian Dwarf Mudskipper is a primarily coastal species which will do best in moderate to strong brackish water (salinity of 10-20ppt) and should be kept in groups.
