Comments: Occurs in large upland rivers.  Feeds on benthic organisms and insect larvae (Ref. 58784).  Undergoes upstream movement for spawning (Ref. 58784).  Little is known about this species due to past confusion with <i>P. jullieni</i>.  Apparently migrates together with <i>P. jullieni</i> and has been decimated by the intensive gillnet fishery directed at that species just above the Lee Pee Waterfalls in southern Laos (Ref. 10431).  However, further investigation is needed to find out whether it shares the same spawning grounds and times (Ref. 10431).
