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.
Pethia guganio, the Glass Barb, is a small cyprinid fish native to Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. It is used, although rarely, in the aquarium trade. This species has a low climate match with the contiguous United States; only southwestern peninsular Florida had a medium match. P. guganio has never been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. History of invasiveness is uncertain. Due to a lack of information about this species, the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is, therefore, uncertain.
