with only three species commonly occurring in all forest streams. All
these species are endemic to the island. The Comb-tail (Belontia
signata) with red tinted fins and tail is found slow moving streams.
The Stone-sucker (Garra lamata ceylonensis) is found clinging to
rocks where if feeds on moss and the striped loach (Neomachilus
notostigma) is found among the leaf little at the bottom of streams.
