Schistura kangjupkhulensis is a species of ray-finned fish. It belongs to the largest genus of stone loaches, Schistura. It can be found in less deep, fast flowing streams with stone pebble substrates in the Tizu River, Imphal River and Nambul River on the Chindwin River Basin in Manipur. It is very rare. It is decreasing in population. Its populations are threatened by destructive fishing methods and human changing of its home environment by damming and occupying water usage.[1]
