Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7 - 8; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 5 - 7. Diagnosis: Distinguished by the following characteristics: brownish head and body; 5-7 dark vertical to oblique bars along side; curved oblique dark stripes on pale head; reddish unpaired fins; compressed head and body; second dorsal rays I,6-8; anal rays I,5-7; pectoral rays 16-19; longitudinal scales 23-26; TRB 8-11; predorsal scales 8-11; circumpeduncular scales 13; second to fourth spine of first dorsal fin longest; first dorsal fin rounded without elongate spines (Ref. 84480).
Found in clear, vegetated littoral habitats in floodplain pans, lakes and estuaries (Ref. 7248, 52193). It feeds on small crustaceans and insect larvae (Ref. 7248, 52193). Spawns in summer (Ref. 7248, 52193).
