Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 9; Rayons mous anaux: 6 - 7. Last unbranched ray of dorsal fin more or less flexible and without posterior denticulation; anterior barbel ending after half the eye, while posterior barbel ends after posterior side of the eye (Ref. 27628). Brown-silver or silver colored; fins not colored or light creamy; 3 little black spots on the flanks, the first between operculum and dorsal-fin origin, the second under dorsal fin and the third just before caudal fin (Ref. 27628).
Feeds on insects, but algae and debris are also taken (Ref. 12523). May be anadromous but with permanent populations in upper reaches of large rivers (Ref. 104796).
