The study highlights the presence of loaches in the Kolodyne drainage of Mizoram from the year 2021 to 2022, representing six genera: Lepidocephalichthys, Balitora, Hemimyzon, Acanthocobitis, Physoschistura, and Schistura. The genus Schistura exhibited the most diversity, with six species recorded, and followed by Lepidocephalichthys with two species. Each of the other genera—Balitora, Hemimyzon, Acanthocobitis, and Physoschistura—was represented by a single species.
