Doryichthys deokhatoides is a species of freshwater fish of the family Syngnathidae. It is found in the Mekong basin, Chao Phraya basin, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo.[1] It lives among grasses, roots or shore vegetation in slow moving river stretches, where it can grow to lengths of 18.5 centimetres (7.3 in).[2] It is benthopelagic.
