There are only three fish species in the lake, but all these are endemic: A poeciliid (Procatopus lacustris, though probably a synonym of the more widespread P. similis), an undescribed catfish (Clarias sp.) and an undescribed barb (Barbus sp.). The atyid shrimp Caridina sodenensis is also endemic to the lake.
