Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 180 - 240. Color pattern composed of narrow pale bands (about 1/4 width of dark bands) on anterior half of body, approximately equally narrow dorsally and ventrally, and 5-8 partially divided, often H-shaped dark bands on posterior half of body (Ref. 49716).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Collected from the lower reaches of meandering upland (non-floodplain) streams, in undercut banks and submerged vegetation (Ref. 49730).
