Etymology: Badis: 'badis' is presumably a Bengali local name, possibly derived from 'bhedo' or 'bheda', but it lacks a proper reference. Probably incorrect etymology (J. Müller, pers. comm., April 2021, after information from native speakers); corycaeus: Named for its highly conspicuous ocellus-like marking (spying eye) on the caudal fin..

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 15 - 17; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8; Vertebre: 26 - 29. Dentary pores 1-2; infraorbital pores 3-4; lachrymal pores 2; extrascapular pore 1. Caudal fin base with a prominent dark spot at the center, surrounded by a light ring. Differs from B. pyema in having a deeper body, depth 32.5-39.4% (versus 26.3-32.7); fewer lateral line scales, 25-26 (versus 27-28); fewer vertebrae, 26-29 (versus 28-29); and color pattern. Males are overall dark with a brown spot on each scale on sides. No dark blotch on cleithrum, opercular margin, nor on dorsolateral side of caudal peduncle (Ref. 46238).

Found in a small stream, Nan Kywe Chaung, up to 30 m wide but not very deep, about 1 m in the low water season; water colorless and clear, current moderate, surroundings consisted of secondary forest and pasture, the bank with grasses; with long-leafed submerged plants (Cryptocoryne) growing in clumps whose bottom consisted of sand and pebbles (Ref. 46238). Maximum length reported, 6 cm TL and 5 cm TL for female (Stefan, pers. comm. 05/05).

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=0.00537 (0.00222 - 0.01301), b=3.05 (2.84 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Basso, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 4.5 - 14 anni (Assuming Fec<100).

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