Poropuntius bolovenensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius. This species is endemic to the eastern half of the Boloven Plateau in southern Laos where its numbers are decreasing under heavy fishing pressure. However, the biggest threat to this species is the construction of dams which are likely to have a significant impact on this species. In addition the quality and area of its habitat is declining due to conversion for agriculture. The IUCN assess P. bolovensis as Endangered. This species occurs in clear, rocky streams at altitudes of 800–1,200 m above sea level where it feeds mainly on insects. It does not thrive in reservoirs. It is not a true migrant but it does make local movements. It is targeted by subsistence fisheries.

Poropuntius deauratus is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is found in coastal river drainages in central Vietnam: between the Thu Bon River in Quang Nam Province and the Quang Tri River in Quang Tri Province. There was a marked decline in this species' abundance between 2-000 and 2009 when the population may have declined by as much as 80%, this decline was probably caused by overfishing. Its habitat is medium and small sized rivers and streams where it is normally found in fast-flowing, clear water and it cannot survive where these are impounded. It diet mainly consists of fine debris, algae, diatoms, and aquatic insects.

Poropuntius lobocheiloides is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is endemic to tributaries of the Xe Kong River on the eastern half of the Bolovens Plateau in southern Laos. Its numbers are thought to be decreasing due to heavy fishing pressure, but the biggest threat to this species are the planned dams, Xe Pian and Xe Namoy, which are to be built within the next few years and which are likely to have a significant impact on this species. In addition, there is continuing decline in the quality as the surrounding land is converted to agriculture. The IUCN assess Poropuntius lobocheiloides as Endangered.

It is common and although threatened by habitat destruction through deforestation it is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. It is sometimes eaten but is not a specific target of fisheries and is sometimes turns up in the aquarium trade.

Poropuntius shanensis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius which is found in rivers, streams, and possibly in swampy areas in Myanmar where it is found in Inle Lake and in Hsipaw.

Poropuntius solitus is a species of freshwater, ray-finned fish in the genus Poropuntius. It was first described by Maurice Kottelat in 2000. This species is found in tributaries to the Xe Kong River on the eastern half of the Bolaven Plateau in Laos. Its population is decreasing due to overfishing, and proposed efforts to dam the river and its tributaries further threaten the species. The Poropuntius solitus is currently considered an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
