Remarks. Wild-types of this popular aquarium species were reportedly present in lowland streams and ditches in the New Territories during the 1940s ( Lin, 1949). Their presence in remote streams in the New Territories (e.g., Lin Ma Hang) suggests wild-types may naturally occur in Hong Kong. However, these may also be relict aquarium trade escapees from breeding ponds seen in Lin (1949).
