Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.2 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 44894)
Distinguished from other hardyheads by a combination of the following characters (expressed in mean): greatest body depth (mean 4.9), least body depth (mean 10.3) both in SL; eye 3.0 in head; midlateral scale count (mean 31.4). Osteologically diagnosed by the combination of the following: dentition, shape of urohyal, medial wing of pelvic bone and premaxilla. Differs further in lacking ventral processes on fifth ceratobranchial for attachment of pharyngoclavicularis internus muscle (Ref. 26685).
Inhabits warm water (>20°C) of spring-fed pools. Upper temperature tolerance is probably not as high as C. dalhousiensis. Omnivorous. Only co-occurs with C. dalhousiensis in one spring (Ref. 44894).
