Barbonymus schwanefeldii (Bleeker)

( Fig. 15 , SEA[SPC])

Distribution. Bedok Reservoir ( Ng HH & Tan HH, 2010); Kallang River (now part of Marina Reservoir; Tan HH et al., 2010).

Remarks. This species was most probably introduced from Java for aquaculture ( Mohsin & Ambak, 1983). Present records are mainly from escapees or releases, as this species is a very popular ornamental fish and frequently used as feeder fish ( Lim & Ng, 1990; Ng & Lim, 1997a).
