Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 13 - 15; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 14-16; Taggstrålar i analfenan 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 10 - 11. Diagnosis: lower pharyngeal bone about as long as broad, and with anterior lamella shorter than toothed area; median pharyngeal teeth broadened when compared to the lateral teeth; 5-6 series of scales on cheeks; 4.5-6 scales between first dorsal fin spine and upper lateral line; dark vertical bars broader than lighter inter-spaces (Ref. 53405).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Occurs only in larger rivers with rocky substrates, not found in smaller creeks; not specialized, but prefers a herbivorous diet; pair-bonding, biparental open substratum spawner holding very large territories; might spawn throughout the year (Ref. 52307).
