Habitat and distribution limits

The record areas above identify the geographic context supported by the sources. They do not establish a species-specific substrate, flow preference or water-chemistry range. We leave those details unstated until species-level references are available.

Understanding the evidence

Occurrence records describe particular places and dates. They do not establish presence throughout a basin, present abundance or aquarium care requirements. Native status and basin endemism are separate claims.

Names follow the cited publications. Historical threat categories are not presented as current assessments. Locations remain coarse; this guide provides no collection directions.
