Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.5 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 50894); 8.0 cm (female)

Inhabits waters of low to moderate velocity, between 0 and 300 m elevation. Lives on creeks of more than 0.5 m deep, in ditches and near shorelines of large rivers. Generally swims in small groups at a depth of 20 cm. Insectivorous, the young eat mainly aquatic insects and the adults feed specifically on terrestrial insects (Ref. 36880). Found in a rapidly flowing rainforest stream (Ref. 26130).

Gestation lasts for about 24 days. Produces 10 to 30, rarely more, young. Reaches sexual maturity in about 5 or 6 months.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00451 - 0.01762), b=3.19 (3.02 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.45 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (tm=0.5).

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