Fields survey of freshwater fish in Cyber Stream, outside Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary,
at Ban Cyber, Khok Khwai Subdistrict, Hui Kod District, Uthai Thani Province, West Thailand
were carried out in December 2015. We found 10 families and 22 species of hill stream fishes.
Schistura desmotes (Fowler, 1934) and Homalopteroides smithi (Hora 1932) (Cypriniformes
Balitoridae) are dominant in transparent and running fast stream ecosystem and Neolissochilus
stracheyi (Day, 1871) and Mystacoleucus marginatus (Valenciennes, 1842) (Cypriniformes
Cyprinidae) are dominant in running slowly stream and pool of the headwater stream ecosystem.
One alien species in this area is Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859 (Cyprinodontiformes
Poeciliidae). Two species, Pseudohomaloptera cf. leonardi (Hora, 1941) (Cypriniformes
Balitoridae) and Channa cf. gachua (Hamilton, 1822) (Perciformes Channidae), still have an
unclear taxonomic status. The Thai local names, habitat and distribution data of hill stream
fishes are provided.
