Silurichthys is a genus of sheatfishes native to Asia.
Some Silurichthys species are economically important as aquarium fishes, and many are useful biological indicators of the health of freshwater or peat swamp forests.[1]
In Silurichthys species, the eyes are small and under the skin.[1] It is likely sexual dimorphism is present in all species, based on species where there enough specimens available. Mature males of all species have a broad and somewhat flattened pectoral fin spine with "serrae" (saw-like teeth); in females and juveniles, the spine is slender and has no spines.[1]
