Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 7050); common length : 10.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 12693)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Anal fin with a convex distal margin; dorsal fin with black anterior and distal margins; a black distal margin on the caudal fin; most scales with a black crescent-shaped mark on their base (Ref. 27732).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found at bottom depths of rivers and streams. Inhabits areas with sand or pea-gravel from small streams to large rivers (Ref. 12693). Usually found in streams with clear and moving waters (Ref. 27732). Breeds when water levels begin to rise, but whether it leaves permanent water or not is unknown. Occasionally seen in markets (Ref. 12693).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5039   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00955 (0.00579 - 0.01576), b=2.97 (2.83 - 3.11), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.0   ±0.34 se; based on food items.
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).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 244 [160, 399] mg/100g; Iron = 1.73 [1.18, 2.56] mg/100g; Protein = 16.6 [14.8, 18.7] %; Omega3 = 0.571 [0.248, 1.353] g/100g; Selenium = 55.4 [24.9, 127.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 102 [45, 216] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.14 [1.56, 2.98] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
