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 Pethia conchonius is not documented. There are many records of introductions and some resulted in established populations. However, there are no recorded demonstrated impacts from those populations. One source attributed that to a lack of research and not a lack on impacts. The climate match is medium. There could potentially be a suitable climate for Pethia conchonius in many areas of the southern United States. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
