Comments: Found at the foot of a waterfall draining into the Kaptai Lake, a reservoir formed by the damming of the Karnafuli River, completed in 1962. During the wet season, the fall has a height of about 100 m and falls directly into the lake. At the time of collection, the lake level was low: the waterfall had almost ceased and only some dripple moistened the rock. Water was retained in a small pool at the foot of the fall, at most about 40 cm deep, holding some pieces of rock but devoid of vegetation. Specimens were collected using seine from the deeper shadowed area of the pool along with numerous specimens of shrimp, snails, and a small species of <i>Garra. The pool drained to the lake by a small stream, only about 1 cm deep. The following species were caught in the lake at the mouth of the stream using seine:  <i>Esomus danrica (Hamilton), <i>Rasbora daniconius (Hamilton) (Cyprinidae), <i>Dermogenys burmanica Mukerji (Zenarchopteridae), <i>Aplocheilus panchax (Hamilton) (Aplocheilidae), and <i>Trichogaster lalius (Hamilton) (Osphronemidae), which are considered ubiquitous species in Bangladeshi freshwaters (Ref. 104133).
