Distribution. Lim & Ng (1990) observed this species in Central Catchment reservoirs; Kranji Reservoir ( Ng & Lim, 1997a, 1997b; Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Upper Peirce Reservoir ( Anonymous, 1989b; Ng & Lim, 1997a, 1997b; Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Lower Peirce Reservoir ( Anonymous, 1990; Munro, 1990; Lim et al., 1995; Ng & Lim, 1997a, 1997b; Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Bukit Batok Nature Park ( Tan, 2018); Jurong Lake ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Upper Seletar Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Lower Seletar Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); MacRitchie Reservoir ( Subaraj et al., 1995; Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Murai Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Singapore Botanic Gardens, Swan Lake (Lim KKP, pers. obs., 2010); Pangsua pond ( Kwik et al., 2013); Woodlands Town Park pond ( Kwik et al., 2013); Punggol Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2013); Serangoon Reservoir (Ng HH & Tan HH, 2013); Central Catchment Nature Reserve—Nee Soon Swamp Forest ( Ho et al., 2016; Li et al., 2016); Sungei Seletar (Banir confluence; Tan HH, pers. obs., March 2017); Jurong Lake (unpublished data); Bishan Park (unpublished data); Pandan Reservoir (unpublished data); Serangoon Reservoir (unpublished data); Bedok Reservoir (unpublished data).

Remarks. This species was probably introduced into Singapore’s reservoirs along with raw water transferred from Johor, Peninsular Malaysia ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010). This species consumes zooplankton and insect larvae ( Okutsu et al., 2011; Lim RHB, pers. obs.).
