Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.2 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 125933); peso massimo pubblicato: 21.30 g (Ref. 125933)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10; Raggi anali molli: 7. Differs from Discogobio yunnanensis, the only other species of the genus in Yuanjiang drainage in China, by scales on breast and belly extending forward at most to midlength of pectoral fin, except sometimes for a few isolated scales in naked area; and a stripe irregular, conspicuous on entire flank (Ref. 55924).
Occurs in torrential waters of mountain areas, clinging to the substratum using its mouth sucking disc (Ref. 38450).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
