Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The threats to this species are unknown, since there is no information on the biology of this species and therefore the impact of potential threats (especially those of an anthropogenic nature) remains unknown. The current threats to aquatic biodiversity in all of its known distribution have also not been adequately identified. The effects of harvesting for the ornamental fish trade are thought to have a negligible effect on the population of this species.
