Known from Sumatra (Palembang, Djambi) and Borneo (Kapuas, Barito) (Ref. 2091). This species used to occur in lakes and main rivers of the Kapuas Lakes Area in western Borneo throughout the year and to spawn in December. Local fishermen considered this to to be locally extinct since around 1975-1977 possibly due to overfishing for the aquarium trade or forest fire in 1975 (Ref. 56749). Museum: Kapuas, MZB 3092. Also Ref. 26580, 36654.
