Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.8 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 75626)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 11; Anal soft rays: 8. Differs from all congeners from Java, Sumatra and Borneo by having an oval, vertically elongated, black blotch at end of caudal peduncle (distinct in small individuals; vs. a large, rounded blotch or no blotch). Can be further differentiated by the combination of the following features: lateral line scales 32-33+2-3; presence of blackish to black distal posterior crescentic marks on body scale, with apex pointing backwards, and dark scale pockets, forming a reticulated pattern; 2 maxillary barbels, about equal to eye diameter; pectoral fin extending about 3/4 of distance to pelvic -fin origin; pelvic fin extending between anus and anal-fin origin; when folded backwards, dorsal-fin tip reaching slightly in front of vertical through anal-fin origin; and 5½ scale rows between lateral line and dorsal-fin origin (Ref. 75626).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00456 - 0.01448), b=3.02 (2.87 - 3.17), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
