Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7 - 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 8 - 9; Vertebrae: 26. This is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: scales on predorsal area small cycloid, 8-17 scales on predorsal midline; pectoral-fin rays 20-23; longitudinal scales 28-35; vertebrae 10 + 16 = 26; males with a low first dorsal fin, not extending posteriorly to origin of second dorsal fi n when adpressed; third spine of the first dorsal fin longest; posterior oculoscapular canal is usually absent; preopercular canal usually present with two terminal pores; sensory-papillae rows on cheek arranged longitudinally, with no transverse rows; anterior part of first dorsal fin with no dark large circle or quadrangle dusky markings (spotsor blotches); absence of yellow or orange markings on caudal-fin base when alive or freshly-collected; caudal fin of males with some dark vertical lines, females with some dark vertical lines or rows of dots; lower half of caudal fin in males reddish orange when alive or freshly-collected (Ref. 119678).
Occurs in shallow freshwater areas with mud bottoms and aquatic vegetation, such as ponds, marshes, reservoirs, canals, creeks of middle or lower reaches of rivers. A non-diadromous species, restricted in non- or slow-flowing freshwater habitats throughout its life cycle (Ref. 119678).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00338 - 0.01553), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
