Eponymy: Dr Yasuhiko Taki (1931-2020) was an Japanese ichthyologist and researcher ‘…who contributed very much’ to the study of loaches, according to the etymology. [...] Laureut-Joseph Morlet (1823–1893) was a French biologist and conchologist who worked at MNHN Paris. He wrote: Diagnoses de mollusques terrestres et fluviatiles du Tonkin (1886).

Size / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 7020)
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 12 - 13; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 9 - 10; Wirbelzahl: 28 - 30. Has 7-9 branched dorsal-fin rays; a mid-dorsal stripe from head to tail, extending ventrally as vertical bar on caudal peduncle; erect ethmoid spine perpendicular to snout when viewed from above; large mental lobe; body golden brown, sometimes with a series of narrow bars in young individuals (Ref. 12693); a few vertical dark vermiculations on flank; few black dots on caudal fin (Ref. 43281).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Occurs in medium to large-sized rivers (Ref. 12975). Inhabits standing and flowing waters. Found in crevices in rocks or excavates burrows under rocks or logs (Ref. 12693), usually in sandy habitats (Ref. 43281). Feeds on mollusks and benthic invertebrates. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Probably moves into temporarily flooded areas during high water levels. Young of the year return to rivers in November and December in the lower Mekong. Commonly seen in aquarium trade (Ref. 12693).
