Espinas dorsales (total) : 8; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 10; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 10.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.

Found in streams, ponds, and swamps (Ref. 5259). Inhabits rivers and creeks flowing through rainforest, sometimes in stagnant pools or slowly flowing rivulets. Also occurs along the margins of swamps and lakes. Usually forms large aggregations that shelter among aquatic vegetation. The breeding season coincides with the onset of monsoonal spring rains (Ref. 44894). Feeds on micro-crustaceans, insects, small arachnids, fish and algae (Ref. 2847).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Referencia 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00496 - 0.02912), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Referencia 69278): 3.3 ±0.43 se; based on food items.

Resiliencia (Referencia 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (tm=1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100). 🛈
