Dr. Yauijo, a member of the Chinese Cavefish Working Group, a team of scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and fish discovery, said, "It is one of the most bizarre freshwater fish and one of the rarest fish in the world." Explained.

There is no ecological data on this fish species since 1988 when this fish was first discovered. Only two samples are preserved in the museum collection.
