Piscivorous (Ref. 5595, 55949). Small specimens mostly feed on crustacean zooplankton, adults predominantly eat larvae and juveniles of small shoaling zooplanktivorous cyprinid Engraulicypris sardella; female mouthbrooder (Ref. 55949).

Coloration: body countershaded, dark grey dorsally; immature fish and mature fish of both sexes may have grey-white or orange-yellow ventral fins; there may be 3-6 yellow or pinkish egg spots on the anal fin; aquarium-kept specimens sometimes show faint narrow vertical bars (Ref. 55949).
