Aborichthys tikaderi is a species of stone loach endemic to Arunachal Pradesh, India where it is only known from streams in the Namdapha Wildlife Sanctuary. This fish grows to a length of 10.5 centimetres (4.1 in) SL.[2] The validity of this taxon is in doubt as it is similar to other species of the genus Aborichthys and more research is needed. If it is a valid species then it may be threatened by deforestation and the building of dams.[1]
