Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Relictus solitarius can be diagnosed by the possession of the following characters: chubby; soft bodied; incomplete lateral line; absence of frenum or barbel; small fins; dorsal fin origin slightly in front of to behind pelvic fin origin; anal fin well behind dorsal fin; 50-70 scales on lateral line; anal fin usually with 7 rays; pharyngeal teeth 0,4-4,0; color highly variable; dusky violet, yellow, or green above, speckled with brown; yellow fins (Ref. 86798).
Occurs in springs and their effluents (Ref. 86798).
