Distribution. Seletar Reservoir Park ( Munro, 1990); Sungei Whampoa ( Munro, 1990); Lornie Forest stream ( Subaraj et al., 1995); Ulu Sembawang/Lorong Gambas ( Lim et al., 1995); Bedok Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Jurong Lake ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Kranji Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Lower Peirce Reservoir ( Anonymous, 1988a; Lim et al., 1995; Ng & Lim, 1997a, 1997b; Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Kent Ridge Park pond ( Ng & Lim, 1997a); Lower Seletar Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Murai Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Tengah Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Upper Peirce Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Upper Seletar Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010; Tan, 2014d); Singapore Botanic Gardens ( Yeo & Lim, 2010); Punggol Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2013); Serangoon Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2013); MacRitchie Reservoir ( Subaraj et al., 1995; Tan, 2016a); outskirts of Nee Soon Swamp Forest ( Ho et al., 2016); Pulau Tekong ( Lim et al., 2016); Kranji Marsh ( Tan et al., 2016); Singapore Quarry ( Tan et al., 2017b).

Remarks. This species had often been introduced as a mosquito control agent but its efficacy is questionable ( Lever, 1996). This species is commonly sold with either Poecilia reticulata or Poecilia sphenops as live feed in the ornamental fish trade (Tan HH, pers. obs.).
