Inhabits rivers and lakes.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larvae

Fish gather in shallow parts of rivers for spawning. A male presses laterally against a female and stirs up the river bed by vibrating his anal fin to bury released eggs. Satellites commonly cannibalize eggs (Ref. 5514).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00408 - 0.01071), b=3.09 (2.96 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  2.8   ±0.45 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Fec=600).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
