Securicula

Securicula is a monospecific genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Danionidae, the danios or danionins.

The only species in the genus is Securicula gora, a fish found in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and possibly in Nepal.

[3] Securicula gora is known to occur in the Ganges and Brahmaputra drainages of India, Bangladesh and Nepal.

[1] Securicula gora is a pelagic, freshwater species which can be found in rivers, beels and canals.

[4] Securicula gora is a common and widespread species where it occurs and is thus treated as Least Concern by the IUCN but its habitat can be affected by silting caused by logging and consequent deforestation of the land surrounding the waters it inhabits.
