Pangio is a genus of small Asian freshwater fish in the true loach family Cobitidae.
The "kuhli loach" is well-known in the aquarium trade and commonly identified as P. kuhlii, but most individuals actually appear to be P.
[2] The type species is Cobitis cinnamomea McClelland 1839, now known as Pangio pangia.
The five species found outside Southeast Asia are from India and Myanmar.
[4][6] They inhabit a wide range of mostly calm waters such as streams, swamps (often peat swamps) and backwaters, but there are also species in fast-flowing waters,[4] and one, P. bhujia, lives underground.
