Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Blue-gray back, silvery sides and a white belly; scales edged with black producing a "fishnet" pattern on the sides; females with a yellow patch near the vent; male's dorsal fin and tail usually yellow-orange with blue black speckles; females with colorless fins and growing to more than double the size of males (Ref. 44091).

Inhabits streams, lakes, estuaries, coastal lagoons and mangrove swamps. Feeds on worms, crustaceans, insects and plant matter (Ref. 7020). Often found in the company of sailfin molly and mosquitofish (Ref. 4409).

Estimates based on models

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

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01023 (0.00456 - 0.02295), b=3.13 (2.95 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±0.34 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (tm=0.66).

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