Uses: live export: yes;
Comments: Neotype collected in the Janali River ar Raimana, western Assam. Aquarium exports from India are said to be based on populations in West Bengal and on the Bhutan-India border, apparently from rivers draining ultimately to the Brahmaputra. At West Bengal, close to the Bhutan border, 50 km north of Koch Bihar, in November (dry season) the stream varied in width between 2-5 m and in depth 30-70 cm; the water is crystal clear and around 26°C; dense vegetation of aquatic plants (e.g. Limnophila, Hygrophila, Vallisneria, Ottelia, and Rotala species); bottom cover was sand and fine gravel (Ref. 46238).
