to Malaysia, three are introduced (Barbonymus gonionotus, Oreochromis mossambicus, and Betta splendens), and one reintroduced (Trichogaster pectoralis). Clarias batu is listed as endemic while the native status of two species (Coilia nasus and Mystus vittatus) is questionable as both species are not listed as indigenous to Malaysia. |
