Kurzbeschreibung
Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie
This species is distinguished by the following characters: D 8 branched fin rays; lateral line scales 30-34 (Ref. 46647); differs from its close relative, G. barreimiae by having a plain or almost plain, greenish or black flank pattern (vs. strongly mottled), with a faint dark-green lateral stripe present in some individuals (vs. absent), no orange midlateral scales on the flank (vs. present), no orange spot at the upper opercle (vs. present), dorsal-fin tip not white (vs. white), and with gill rakers on the lower limb of the first gill arch 12-14 (vs. 15-18) (Ref. 128817).
This species occurs in small rock pools, in shallow part of larger pools with almost stagnant water and in rather fast-flowing streamlets. It is most common over fine sand and muddy substrate with scattered boulders which provide the species some hiding places, and also over bare rock, gravel and among aquatic plants. Apparently, a substrate feeder as indicated by its inferior mouth and the large papillose mental disc. Stomach contents consist mainly on unicellular algae, filamentous algae, fragments of Rotatoria, Nematoda and crustaceans, as well as large amounts of inorganic matter like sand grains (Ref. 46647).
