Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 9 - 10. With 4-6 dark bars anteriorly on side; dark stripe extending to end of median caudal rays; without lateral line; no barbels; no infraorbital process; usually 7 branched dorsal rays; usually 9-10 branched anal rays (Ref. 43281).

Found in a small stream near a village in the bottom of the valley, with slow current and shallow water (maximum of 20 cm deep). The surrounding area was mostly paddy fields with almost no shade. The bottom varies from small gravel to mud.

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=0.00977 (0.00422 - 0.02262), b=3.04 (2.84 - 3.24), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.0 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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).
