Conservation: During my visit on 13-May-2022 the exotic species seen were Poecilia reticulata (very abundant), Astatotilapia calliptera and Oreochromis aureus. Exotic Poecilia reticulata are now more numerous than P. viriosa. We noticed that at some points home sewage is discharged into the stream (Artigas Azas & Granados, 2022).
