Parakysidae
                                                       Parakysidae = ( par AKY sid dee )                Parakysidae


This small Asian family of dwarf catfishes was once part of Akysidae but is now placed in its own family with 5 species in one genera, Parakysis. They posses a very long low adipose fin which is hard to see on living specimens. They are not seen in the hobby very often and would need good water movement in the aquarium as they come from swift moving waters.
