Descrição breve Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria

Espinhos dorsais (total) : 1; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 7; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 12 - 14.

It prfers rocky habitats or marginal vegetation in slow-flowing rivers and lagoons, often taking shelter under trees (Ref. 52193). It feeds on small fishes and invertebrates like snails, shrimps and insects (Ref. 52193). Eggs are large and relatively few, suggesting parental care, but no details are know (Ref. 52193). It 'grunts' when removed from the water (Ref. 7248, 52193).
