Uses:	no uses
Comments:	Known from the middle reaches of the Iaroka-Rianila basin. The middle reaches of this basin are characterized by much reduced and at best degraded forest cover. This fish is chiefly at risk from kingfishers and the skillfully wielded 'tandroho' (woven reed baskets) of artisanal fisherfolk (Ref. 76768). Currently, this does not appear to be seriously endangered, in spite of the presence of potentially competitive and/or predatory naturalized poeciliids throughout its altitudinal distribution and of the highly predatory Channa maculata at its lower end. Following the IUCN criteria, this should be classified as vulnerable (Ref. 76768).
