Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; salmastro; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 20°N - 9°S, 98°E - 129°E (Ref. 188)
Western Central Pacific: Gulf of Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.5 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188); common length : 7.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 21; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 23. Immediately distinguished from all other species of Herklotsichthys by the presence of two dark saddle-like blotches on the back, at the hind part of the dorsal fin base and a short distance behind this. Overlaps range of H. quadrimaculatus, which lacks the black saddles and has elongate wing-like scales underneath the normal paired pre-dorsal scales.
A schooling species found in coastal waters. Uncommon.
