Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.1 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 1479); max. veröff. Gewicht: 0.63 g (Ref. 126021)
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 11; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 8. This species can be diagnosed from all congeners by the combination of the following characters: lateral line incomplete, with 3-4 pored scales; 21-22 + 1 scales in lateral series, ½4/1/2½ scales in transverse line on body; 8 predorsal scales; last unbranched dorsal-fin ray thick, straight, serrated, with 20-25 serrae on posterior margin; barbels absent; a broad black band around the caudal peduncle covering scales 19-21 in the longitudinal series. Three diffuse black blotches on the body, first behind opercle, second below dorsal-fin origin, third above anal-fin origin. Black spot at base and origins of dorsal, anal and pelvic fins (Ref. 94011).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Adults occur in rivers and standing water over silt and mud (Ref. 41236). They feed on small crustaceans and insects (Ref. 7020). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106).
