You certainly have to consider Papua (Irian Jaya) in that list of threatened areas too. I saw first hand that soon the fishes in most of the crater lakes will be gone. The beautiful Kali Biri, home to Gloss. doryiti is now full of snakeheads, and perhaps still some carp which ate the plants. Perhaps we saw one reddish fish but really didn't see anything else. Better hold on to your fish. Perhaps it's not the same at the Jaiguim lake but who knows. Also saw the same thing is happening with another crater lake that we found that had G. pseudoincisus. We had to fight off the tinfoil barbs to catch the rainbowfish in our nets. Most likely snakeheads there too. Lots of tilapia at the market in Sentani so they are in that lake too. It's happening all over so you had better keep and hold the rainbowfish, soon they will be no more.

Anyway, I’m working on a presentation about threatened species. The introduction of Tilapia in several places in the world (even in Australia and PNG) is a real problem. Even, in Europe introduction of sun perch (Lepomis), bull-head catfish, black Bass or freshwater turtles stays a major ecological damage. It begins to be difficult to find Carassius carassius or even Gasterosteus aculeatus (who was a very common fish ten years ago).
And the same for our lovely bows. Anyone knows on this forum about the situation of Glossolepis wanamensis or Chilatherina fasciata in Lake Wanam (in cause tilapias).
