The giant featherback (Chitala lopis) also known as Indonesian Featherback[2] was a freshwater fish found in Southeast Asia, including Indochina, Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra and Java in Indonesia. It inhabited lowland river mainstreams and tributaries with rocky and sunken wood bottoms, as well as forest-covered streams. It fed on smaller fishes, insects and vertebrates, mostly at night.[1]
