Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 2847)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12 - 13; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 29 - 36. Belly with 17 to 19 + 10 or 11 = 27 to 29 keeled scutes from isthmus to anus. Maxilla short, not quite reaching to hind border of pre-operculum; first supra-maxilla short, not more than half length of second. No black area behind upper part of gill opening.
Inhabits turbid channels of large rivers, also lakes and swampy backwaters (Ref. 2847). The very high number of gillrakers suggests filter-feeding habit (Ref. 189). Feeds on plankton including calanoid copepods (Ref. 2847).

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=0.00437 (0.00186 - 0.01024), b=3.11 (2.93 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
