| Identification | Members of the genus Pseudolaguvia are small erethistid catfishes inhabiting hill streams and large rivers in the area bordered by the Ganges River drainage (northern India) to the west and the Sittang River drainage (east-central Myanmar) to the east. They can be distinguished from other sisorids by their small size,a combination of a thoracic adhesive apparatus with a median depression and prominent postcoracoid processes. |
| Feeding | Known to take only live food like blood worms, frozen brine shrimp etc. Spot feeding will help in case tank mates are voracious feeders. |
| Compatibility | A peaceful species suitable for a hillstream biotope. Extreme care should be taken while choosing their tankmates as these fish are extremely poor at competing for food. |
| Tankmates | Cyprinids like Barilius and Danio and Balitorine loaches like Homaloptera species. |
| Breeding | Unreported in the aquarium. |
| Size | Smallest 25 mm, largest 100 mm, average 36mm, most commonly 30mm. All SL. |
