| Comments | Recorded from the Chalakudy river, part of the Western Ghats, Kerala (Ref. 79567).The species had become sympatric with the indigenous Melon Barb, Puntius fasciatus (Jerdon 1849) in the streams that flow through tea plantations in Valparai. Its insectivorous feeding habit make them potential competitors for indigenous barbs like Puntius fasciatus, Puntius ticto (Hamilton 1822) Puntius vittatus (Day 1865) and killifishes like Aplocheilus lineatus (Valenciennes 1846) Aplocheilus panchax (Hamilton 1822) and Aplocheilus dayi (Steindachner 1892) which are highly popular ornamental fish species found in River Chalakudy (Ref. 79567).
