Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 9 - 10; Anal soft rays: 8; Vertebrae: 28 - 30. Brightly colored; body depth 4.2-4.6 times in SL; lateral line complete; 1 or 2 scale rows between lateral line and mid-ventral scale rows in front of pelvic fin (Ref. 12693).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occur in streams, canals and ditches in lowland floodplains. Usually found right at the water surface and is easily recognized by the broad black margin on the bright yellow caudal fin. Feed on exogenous insects (Ref. 12693). Spawning sites are found in rivers and ponds (Ref. 33813). Mature adults probably breed during the rainy season. Occasionally seen in fish markets (Ref. 12693).

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=0.00692 (0.00286 - 0.01676), b=3.08 (2.89 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.2   ±0.40 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (11 of 100).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 440 [223, 897] mg/100g; Iron = 0.956 [0.476, 2.086] mg/100g; Protein = 18.2 [15.7, 20.4] %; Omega3 = 0.388 [0.171, 0.890] g/100g; Selenium = 62.4 [24.0, 173.9] μg/100g; VitaminA = 189 [59, 530] μg/100g; Zinc = 2.86 [1.84, 4.35] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
