Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 11; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 8.

Prefers well-oxygenated but vegetated waters such as floodplain river channels and permanent lagoons (Ref. 52193); shy, emerging in subdued light, most active in early morning and late afternoon (Ref. 7248, 52193). It feeds on small organisms, often off plant surfaces (Ref. 52193), including worms, crustaceans, insects and plant matter (Ref. 7020). Migrates during rainy season (Ref. 13337).

Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01202 (0.00595 - 0.02431), b=2.96 (2.79 - 3.13), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.34 se; based on food items.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179): Hoog, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd minder dan 15 maanden (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
