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.
