Notes
New record to Kenyir Reservoir (Fig. 12). A common fish that thrives well in flood-plain or man-made habitats (Aqmal-Naser and Ahmad 2018a, Aqmal-Naser and Ahmad 2018b). Previously, this species is known as a native species in Peninsular Malaysia (Mohsin and Ambak 1983). However, it has been treated as an introduced species by Khan et al. (1996) and all recent studies without any justification. The identity of this species will soon be determined and the article on its status is being prepared. Hence, at the moment, we regarded this species as introduced species.
