Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 40433)
Vertebrae: 33 - 34. Body without dark stripes. Cavity with deep post-oral skinfold around mouth. A submarginal band on posterior part of paired fins. Origin of pectoral fin behind corner of the mouth. Origin of pelvic in front of dorsal-fin origin; pelvic fin reaching anal-fin origin; dorsal keels on pelvic-fin rays continuously or marginally serrated. Absence of skin-fold between oropectoral membrane and ventral surface of head. Lateral line with 40-47 scales (Ref. 40433).
Collected from streams with shallow rapids; current relatively slow and water very clear; deep pools with detritus and muddy or sandy substrate. Stomach contents indicate that this species feeds on aquatic invertebrates (Ref. 40433).

50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00603 (0.00256 - 0.01420), b=3.11 (2.90 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.37 se; based on food items.
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
