Species that are considered uncertain risk need a more in-depth assessment beyond the Risk Summary to better define the species’ risk to U.S. environments.
The history of invasiveness for Desmopuntius pentazona is uncertain. No records of introductions were found. The climate match was very low, indicating that this species requires a fully tropical climate and that it would not likely be able to establish self-sustaining populations in the United States. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
