Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8 - 9; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7 - 9; Vertebrae: 26. Plain light to dark grey or brownish grey with indistinct bars and X-shaped markings along side, and most distinct marking a blackish spot on upper caudal fin base (Ref. 43716). Longitudinal scales 28-41; TRB 8-13; predorsal scales 14-22, small, evenly sized, reaching up close behind eyes; scales on side of body ctenoid; first spine of dorsal fin longest, white and usually filamentous in both sexes (Ref. 43716). Caudal fin rounded (Ref. 43716).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Known only from freshwater and brackish habitats, from mangrove creeks to a lily-covered lake (Ref. 43716).

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 (0.00444 - 0.02153), b=3.04 (2.85 - 3.23), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.3 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).
