Miljö: miljö / Klimatzon / djupintervall / distributionsområde
Ekologi
marina pelagic-neritic; djupintervall 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 15°N - 8°N, 98°E - 106°E (Ref. 188)
Western Pacific: known only from 2 specimens from the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand (but discovered at the Sunday Market in Bangkok).
Storlek / Vikt / Ålder
Könsmognad: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.7 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 188)
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 13 - 21; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 14 - 18. Belly strongly keeled. Separated from similar fishes in the area by the characters given under E. thoracata, from which it differs by its more slender body and narrow silver stripe along the flank (about half eye diameter).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
Presumably a marine and coastal pelagic species.
