==Distribution== The Cambodian logsucker lives in the Mekong of Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, as well as in the Mae Klong, Chao Phraya and the river systems of south eastern Thailand in Phrae, Phitsanulok, Ubon Ratchathani, Trang, Chanthaburi, Chiang Mai, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Kanchanaburi, Nakhon Sawan, Yala, Chiang Rai and Surat Thani provinces of Thailand, in Peninsular Malaysia and in southeastern Mymanmar.<ref name = iucn/>
==Habits and ecology== The Cambodian logsucker lives in rapidly flowing, small to medium sized streams with rocky beds.<ref name = FB/> In submontane to hill regions, it may also occur in larger or lowland rivers. At the start of the monsoon, it moves into floodplains or paddy fields where it breeds. The fry are cared for by the parents until they are juveniles, at which point they return to the streams.<ref name = iucn/> It feeds on periphyton, phytoplankton and some insects.<ref name = FB/> It is sociable in the wild, forming hierarchies in loose shoals. To settle disputes, the males charge each other, flare their fins, become paler in colour and extend their rostral processes.<ref name = SF/>
==Human use== The Cambodian logsucker is eaten by some local humans, especially when spawning.<ref name = iucn/> It is common in the aquarium trade,<ref name = iucn/> but must be hormonally induced to breed in captivity.<ref name = SF/>
