Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7; Raggi anali molli: 7. Distinguished from other Callichthys species by having the lower lip serrated; 8-9 branched rays in pectoral fin; an irregular color pattern of dark, diffuse blotches on flanks of adults; anal-fin spine length (5.3-8.5% SL); and absence of the prenasal central plate (Ref. 55482).
Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274)

50 = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00603 (0.00243 - 0.01493), b=3.11 (2.89 - 3.33), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
