Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Presence of 3 broad black bars on body, a 4th across the eye; lacks anterior maxillary ("rostral") barbels; lateral line incomplete with pores on first 7-10 scales (Ref. 12693); a black blotch at dorsal fin base; last simple dorsal ray serrated posteriorly (Ref. 43281).
Inhabits midwater to bottoms depths of small streams and weedy impoundments. Most abundant in impoundments with dense growth of aquatic macrophytes. Feeds mainly on zooplankton, along with some aquatic insect larvae and plant matter (Ref. 12693).
