After setting up my barb tank I'm thinking of a tank based on fish found in lake Inle in the shar states of myanmar.

I have only found three types that a know from there so far and need help finding more. If you know of any fish that are found in lake Inle please post it here.

so far I have found
Microrasbora rubencens (dwarf red rasbora)
Danio (formerly microrasbora) erythromicron (Dwarf emerald danio?)
Inlecypris auropurpureus (inle lake rasbora)

I already own the first two, which is what gave me the idea.

Well there's an eel Chaudhuria caudata that's not found anywhere else in the world and a Barb Sawbwa resplendens that has
religious significance to the local people.

There are 31 species of cyprinid from two genera Sawbwa and Inlecypris, of which 16 are unique to Lake Inle

There's also 20 species of snail unique to the lake.

Here's a list of Inle fish with (in blue) how common they are found in collections
(This is 1996 data so things may have changed)
