Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Unknown

Use and Trade: This species might be of minor importance as food in artisanal fisheries, but this awaits verification. It is occasionally caught and exported as an ornamental fish.
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.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions:
There is insufficient information on the distribution, biology and potential threats for this species. The taxonomic identity of this species also needs further study, as it is very likely that the populations from Myanmar and Thailand currently identified as this species represent different species.
