Recorded from Danau Sentarum National Park (Ref. 56749). Museum: Kapuas, MZB 3010 (Ref. 2091). Protected by Indonesian law (Ref. 12217) and CITES I and II. This has been bred in captivity by several companies in Pontianak and Indonesia has been allowed to export a given number of captive bred individuals per year. As a result of this captive breeding, juveniles are the most exported commodity which coincided with a change of trade practices in the Kapuas Lakes area. In 1995, fishermen reported that adults were released and juveniles were grown, occasionally obtained from the mouthbrooding parent. This indicates that a part of the juveniles exported as captive bred originate from the wild (Ref. 56749). The species exhibit several colors: red, gold, pink and green; and the market price very much depend on the color with red being the most expensive and green the cheapest (Godi [ggodi@writeme.com], pers. comm.).
