Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 11; Anal soft rays: 8. Can be distinguished from all species of Garra and Discogobio by possessing a median notch in the posterior margin of the posterior free fold of the oral sucking disc and 2-7 small fleshy buds between the skin fold and sides of the median pad (Ref. 55924).
Prefers streams with rapid current and stony substrate (Ref. 55924). Feeds mainly on algae, occasionally on aquatic plants and larvae of aquatic insects (Ref. 55924).
