Schistura semiarmata is a species of stone loach in the genus Schistura.[2][3] It is found in the Indian states of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu (the Bhavani River, the Seegoor River, and Billicul Lake)[1][3] and, at least based on some sources, in Pakistan.[2] It grows to 5.6 cm (2.2 in) SL.[2] It is a very common species inhabiting high altitude streams with hard bottom (sand, gravel and cobble stones as the major substrates). It is sometimes used as an aquarium fish.[1]
