Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8; Vertebrae: 31. First lepidotrichia of rayed dorsal and pectoral fins present as flexible, unbranched fin rays lacking serrations; structure of adult-male anal fin (seven proximal radials present, two posterior-most smaller than anterior ones); adipose fin absent or, if present, a long, low fin fold; and putative smaller maximum adult body size (1.5-2.2 cm SL).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Nocturnally active, inhabiting open waters of black-water streams and rivers. Taken near the surface in or near the main channels of rivers with moderate flow. The stomach contents of one specimen taken from the Rio Asisa include adult dipterans, including one whole individual of Sciaridae and large wing fragment of a Ceratopogonidae. Matures at 1.5-2.2 cm SL.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5625   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
