From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akysis is the largest genus within the family Akysidae (the stream catfishes). The 30 currently described species (more than half of which have been discovered since 1996) are found in fast-flowing streams in Southeast Asia. These small catfish can be distinguished by their general colouring of yellow markings on a brown background.
