Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.2 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 35381)
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Stays in schools of several dozens of individuals (Ref. 35381). Occurs in creeks with sandy bottoms with slow or strong current (Ref. 27188). Swims mostly in backwaters and hides itself under logs or rocks. Its 'locking' mechanism built with its bony plaques, which permit it to keep three spines erected, is a good passive defense mechanism. Lifespan can last for 7 years. (Ref. 35381).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00290 - 0.01895), b=3.14 (2.92 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
