Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 13-16; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 15 - 17; Vértebra: 28 - 30. Diagnosis: It is distinguished from all congeners by the following unique combination of characters: males with about 30-50 dots on flank, each being lesser in diameter than the radius of the pupil, a proximal stripe on anal fin, pelvic fin reaching the genital papillae, dorsal fin tip reaching the caudal fin, females also with dots on flank; dorsal fin with 13-16 rays an27-29 scales in the median lateral series (Ref. 95020).

Found in temporary pools and swamps (Ref. 3788). A bottom spawner, with 1.5 months incubation (Ref. 27139). Difficult to maintain in aquarium (Ref. 27139).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

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

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
