简单描述
检索表 | 型态特徵 | 形态测量图
臀鳍软条: 175 - 186. Brachyhypopomus flavipomus can be distinguished by having conspicuous patches of shiny yellow guanine on the operculum and anterior to pectoral-fin base in live individuals (vs. absent in all congeners) (Ref. 116763).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs only in whitewater floodplain habitats where it is observed throughout the year in floating macrophytes. Most abundant in sheltered floodplain lakes surrounded by high levee forest, but has a patchy distribution, and varies in abundance at a given site from year to year. Occurs sympatrically and syntopically in whitewater floodplain with the following congeners: Brachyhypopomus beebei, B. belindae, B. bennetti, B. brevirostris, B. hamiltoni, B. pinnicaudatus, B. regani, and B. walteri. Exhibits allotopic distributions across parts of its range with Brachyhypopomus batesi, B. benjamini¸ B. hendersoni, B. sullivani, and B. verdii. Feeds on aquatic insect larvae, microcrustacea, and other small aquatic invertebrates, with a predominance of Chironomidae larvae in the type locality (Ref. 116763).
