Comments: Known from the Mekong basin (Ref. 43281). From May to July, at the start of the rainy season, it migrates downstream from the Khone Falls to the Mekong Delta. Here, the fish moves out of the Mekong into canals and flooded areas in August-September. When water recedes during November-December, fish migrate to the Mekong again (Ref. 37770). Occurrence in Annam needs further confirmation (Ref. 26580). Also Ref. 36654.
