Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.7 cm SL পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 53940)
পৃষ্ঠীয় কাঁটা (মোট ) : 14 - 15; পৃষ্ঠীয় নরম পাখনা দন্ড (মোট ) : 10 - 12; পায়ূ কাঁটা : 3; পায়ূর নরম পাখনা্তুন্ড: 8 - 10; কশেরুকা : 28 - 29. Diagnosis: mouth strongly upturned, making an angle of about 50° with the horizontal; outer row jaw teeth reduced and few in number, inner row teeth minute tricuspids; lower pharyngeal jaw markedly longer than wide, with a reduced dentigerous surface, and covered with a ‘felt’ of tiny unicuspid teeth (Ref. 81260).
Prefers open water regions at greater depths, but ventures into the more shallow areas of the lake for spawning, which normally occurs during the rainy season; mainly feeds on phytoplankton and small insects; probably ovophilic mouthbrooder; males occupy a tertitory of ca. 50 cm and it is often possible to find large numbers of males in a limited area (Ref. 52307).
