Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 20 - 24; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 26 - 31. Diagnosis: Body depth 28.3-34.0% of standard length; head length 25.0-27.7% of standard length; preanal length 59.0-62.8% of standard length; anal fin length 21.5-25.6% of standard length; diameter defined by orbital rims 25.9-32.9% of head length; length of snout to posterior orbital rim of eye 47.0-51.4% of head length; length of snout to centre of eye 35.2-39.1% of head length; number of dorsal fin rays 20-24; number of scales in lateral line row 38-42 (Ref. 91771).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found in rather strong currents; dicotyledonous trees, extensive reed beds and semiaquatic bushes dominate the river banks, which are rocky or sandy depending on the inside or outside bank (Ref. 91771).
