This report is the first on freshwater fishes of Ulu Paip Eco-Park Forest, Kedah, which aims to document the fish species richness in this recreational forest. All species were collected from the main stream, Sungai Karangan, and its unnamed tributaries. In total, 20 species of fishes from 10 families were recorded. Cyprinidae is the most dominant family with six species followed by Danionidae with three species. Other families contribute at least one species each. Most of the species recorded here are commonly found in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. Further studies should be expected to record more species and the utilization of various sampling gear such as electro fishing technique would be able to recordthe true species richness of fishes in this area.

“…This species was widely distributed in Southeast Asia and seldom misidentified as Kryptoptericthys bicirrhis; however, the identification was clarified by Ng and Kottelat (2013). The Kryptopterus macrocephalus was a commonly found species in the stagnant water and slow-moving blackwater peat swamp of Perak, Peninsular Malaysia (Ng et al, 2019). The IUCN declared this species under near-threatened (Ng, 2020).…”

Owing to the advancement in genetic studies, the quantity of the species was expected to increase, particularly for cryptic species. However, claimed by many researchers that the ichthyological study in Malaysia is still less intact in the discovery and exploratory stage (Ahmad and Khairul-Adha, 2005; Chong et al., 2010; Khairul, 2011; Ng et al., 2019)and, until today, lack of centralized taxonomy conduct.

The ornamental fish trade has been considered as one of the most important routes of invasive alien fish introduction into native freshwater ecosystems. Therefore, the species composition and invasion risks of fish species from 60 freshwater fish pet stores in Klang Valley, Malaysia were studied. A checklist of taxa belonging to 18 orders, 53 families, and 251 species of alien fishes was documented. Fish Invasiveness Screening Test (FIST) showed that seven (30.43%), eight (34.78%) and eight (34.78%) species were considered to be high, medium and low invasion risks, respectively. After the calibration of the Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit (FISK) v2 using the Receiver Operating Characteristics, a threshold value of 17 for distinguishing between invasive and non-invasive fishes was identified. As a result, nine species (39.13%) were of high invasion risk. In this study, we found that non-native fishes dominated (85.66%) the freshwater ornamental trade in Klang Valley, while FISK is a more robust tool in assessing the risk of invasion, and for the most part, its outcome was commensurate with FIST. This study, for the first time, revealed the number of high-risk ornamental fish species that give an awareness of possible future invasion if unmonitored in Klang Valley, Malaysia.
