Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Identified by the black spot found on the base of the dorsal fin; some specimens with thin transverse bands along the body but this may be attributed to the coloration before or after the reproductive period (Ref. 26543).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Feeds on algae and insects end up in the water (Ref. 26543). Tolerates extreme temperature, salinity and anoxia conditions (Ref. 26543). There was a proposal to use this species as biological control against mosquito larvae (Ref. 26543).
Cycle de vie et comportement reproducteur
Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
Produces 10 to 25 young after a gestation period of about 28 days. Young cared for by the male (Ref. 26543).
