Schistura rikiki is a species of ray-finned fish, a stone loach, in the genus Schistura. It occurs in the Se Kong basin in southern Laos where it can be found in riffles over substrates of gravel and stones.[1] The specific name rikiki is French slang for small or pint-sized, a reference to its small size.[3]
