Ninety-five specimens of 14 freshwater fish species from small streams in the Kuala Terengganu district and the Lake Kenyir Reservoir, Malaysia, were surveyed for @entity281 . Six fish species proved to be @entity281 . In all of these fishes Goussia species were found in unsporulated and semisporulated stages. O  cysts of four species inhabiting the intestinal epithelium became sporulated in tap-water within 24 hours. In two fish species sporulation failed and only unsporulated o  cysts were recorded in the intestine. Three of the intestinal species finishing sporulation proved to be new to science and were described as Goussia malayensis @entity8891 ., G. bettae @entity8891 . and G. pogonognathi @entity8891 . from Apocheilus panchax, Betta splendens and Hemirhamphodon pogonognatus, respectively. The fourth species, found in Trichogaster pectoralis, was identified as G. trichogasteri Sz  kely _ Moln  r, 1992, a species known from aquarium-cultured T. trichopterus.
