In the Indian part of Brahmaputra river drainage, near Raidāk river, there are some streams that pass through lush agricultural fields (often rice).
They can vary in width between 2-5 m and in depth 30-70 cm, with a crystal clear water, bottom covered by grey sand, fine gravel, few round rocks and wood, and dense growths of marginal and aquatic vegetation [e.g. Hygrophila (possibly Hygrophila balsamica, Hygrophila corymbosa, Hygrophila difformis, Hygrophila lancea or Hygrophila polysperma), Limnophila (possibly Limnophila aquatica, Limnophila aromatica, Limnophila heterophylla, Limnophila indica, Limnophila rugosa or Limnophila sessiliflora), Ottelia (possibly Ottelia alismoides), Rotala (possibly Rotala indica, Rotala rotundifolia, Rotala serpyllifolia or Rotala wallichii) species and mosses of the genera Vesicularia sp. or Amblystegium serpens.
In these areas, it is possible to find the extraordinary Dario dario, together with the Indian shrimp species Caridina babaulti.
