Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 37.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 111697); peso máx. Publicado: 230.00 g (Ref. 111518)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 2; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 8 - 10; Espinhos anais: 3 - 5; Raios anais moles: 22 - 30. Possesses a minute spot behind the opercle; lateral line scales 91-131; small eye 17.9-34.1% head length; snout length 32.5-50.0% head length (Ref. 52916).
Common in black and clear water streams and rivers, as well as lagoons and other off-channel habitats associated with whitewater rivers (Ref. 52916). Prefers slow currents and a silty or sandy bottom. Like other species of the genus, it is a formidable predator (Ref. 12225). Strict piscivore; however, it consumes insects during the dry periods of the year (Ref. 27188).
