Info

Many other species of ornamental fish are imported and/or farmed in Singapore (Table 1). Accidental escape or even deliberate release of these species into natural waterways is likely but the impact, if any, is not noticeable. They are probably unable to compete with the hardier feral guppy and tilapia. Discussion Singapore does not have extensive natural inland water bodies nor does it have an indigenous inland fisheries. There is also at present hardly any unique inland aquatic fauna to protect either. As such, introduction of exotic species does not cause much concern and there has not been any serious study of the impact of species introduced for farming or other purposes. However, two introduced species appear to have firmly established in Singapore's inland waterways, and these are the guppy (P. reticuluta) and the tilapia (0. mossambicus).
