Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 8 - 11; Duri dubur: 0; Sirip dubur lunak: 14 - 17. Diagnosis: This species is distinguished from other Epiplatys species by its distinctive colouration: an orange body with red spots in males, body yellow with red spots in females; no longitudinal dark band or broad dark crossbars on the trunk, metallic blue highlights limited to head, nape and trunk above pectoral fins in males; yellow median fins with red spots in females, reddish orange median fins in males with dark red spots and dark red margins; preopercular canal with five pores; anterior supraocular sensory canals open grooves, closely approaching frontal canal, but not contiguous (Ref. 123813).
Found over a range of substrates (sand, gravel, bedrock, silt and clay) and most common in small headwater streams four meters or less in width; presence of woody debris, leaf litter and instream vegetation varied among sites (Ref. 123813).
