Yunnanilus cruciatus
Introduction '''''Yunnanilus cruciatus''''', the '''Vietnamese multi banded zebra loach''', is a species of stone loach endemic to Vietnam. This species grows to a length of  SL. It is sometimes placed in the putative monotypic genus ''Micronemacheilus'' but this genus is currently preoccupied by ''Micronemacheilus zispi'', although this species is regarded by some authorities as a junior synonym of ''Traccatichthys taeniatus''. ''Y. cruciatus'' occurs in the relatively still and shallow stretches of rivers where there is dense aquatic vegetation and the substrate is muddy and sandy. The species seems to be quite commonly found in the aquarium trade.
