Folifer yunnanensis
This one is a rare little China endemic barb that tops out around 8.5 inches, and it is basically a lake fish from Fuxian Lake in Yunnan. Honestly, it is not an aquarium species in any normal sense - it is endangered in the wild and there is almost no hobby care info out there, so it is more of a conservation/taxonomy fish than a fish-store fish.
Hemimyzon yushanensis
This is a little Taiwan hillstream loach that lives its whole life clinging to rocks in fast, super-oxygenated streams. In a tank it does best in a "river" setup with smooth stones and lots of flow, where it will spend all day grazing biofilm and cruising the glass like a tiny underwater gecko.
Danio rerio
Zebra danios are those nonstop little stripey rockets that zip around the top and middle of the tank like they've had three espressos. They're super fun in a group because they chase, spar, and "race" each other without really meaning harm, and that constant motion makes the whole tank feel alive.
Zebrias crossolepis
Zebrias crossolepis is a small marine sole with bold zebra-like bands, the kind of flatfish that spends its life glued to the bottom and trying to vanish into sand. It is a subtropical, demersal species from the northwest Pacific (reported from Guangdong, China) and tops out at around 14 cm standard length, so it stays pretty compact for a flatfish.
Isorineloricaria spinosissima
This is a truly giant Ecuadorian pleco that can end up longer than your forearm - it is basically a river bulldozer that spends its time grazing algae and plant growth off hard surfaces. The cool (and kind of wild) part is the strong sexual dimorphism with extra-long odontodes, plus those sharp gill-area spines that can snag nets, so you have to handle it with respect.
