trade is desirable but rare, because of the difficulty to reach their deep habitats. Ornamental marine fishes are known to be high in abundance in India. Liopropoma carmabi are used in ornamental fish trading due to their striking color. An individual of the species is worth $ 1,000 ranking it at #10 for the world’s most expensive tropical fish from India. If deep-water populations decrease, this will reduce predator-prey interaction in the ecosystem. If climate variation increases, deep-water species will migrate to new habitats and increase populations if resources are substantial.

The species is widely distributed in the mentioned areas above. They are most notable for their cryptic style of living, and thus prefer to situate in deeper habitats. The closest distance they are found to live near the surface is at 25m below, and they can live as deep as 100m from the surface.

In shadier environments, or environments that cater to being more secretive, the species are prone to swim in a manner where both sexes are traveling in parallel to each other with their operculum's in contact. This behavior indicates courtship between the two sexes, and spawning takes place: an
