Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11; Raggi anali molli: 8; Vertebre: 30. Distinguished from other species of Pethia by the combination of the following characters: distinct humped nape; no barbels; lips fleshy; distinct lateral fold on snout; complete lateral line; 19-22 pored lateral line scales; 8 predorsal scales; 9-10 prepelvic scales; 14-15 preanal scales; 4½-4 scales between dorsal fin origin and lateral line, and 2½-3 scale between lateral line and pelvic fin origin; last simple dorsal fin ray strong and serrated with 6-9 serrae on distal half of spine whereas 2-4 on apical half of spine; 13-15 branched pectoral fin rays; seven branched pelvic fin rays; caudal fin with 6-7+6-7 principal rays and 8-9+8-9 branched rays; 5 supraneurals; 6 predorsal neural spine; deep and enlarged infraorbital three; gill rakers three on epibranchial, one at angle and 14-15 on first ceratobranchial; one humeral band covering 3rd and 4th lateral line scale and extends to one scale up and down; one caudal blotch encircling caudal peduncle dorsally covering 17th-19th lateral line scale; dorsal fin without any bands and body dark yellow with iridescence on scale (Ref. 96472).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Occurs in riffles and runs with boulders and gravels as substratum. Encountered only in clear unpolluted river stretches with well oxygenated waters and were not observed in pools and ditches. Adults are mostly found in association with submerged vegetation. Occurs together with other fish species of genera Salmostoma, Devario, Dawkinsia, Garra, Puntius, Systomus and Anguilla (Ref. 96472).
