Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 2.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 44894)
Inhabits around grassy tussocks and weeds in small spring-fed pools with a depth of only a few centimeters in very dry, open country. The pools are exposed to full sun for most of the day and air temperatures reach 51°C in summer and fall as low as 3°C in winter. The fish and its limited habitat are now protected (Ref. 44894).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), 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).
