Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 41 - 47; Vertebrae: 44 - 46. Compared to L. hexanema, this species differs in having a longer anal fin base (38.6-41.5% SL versus 34.8-37.9) with more anal fin rays (41-47 versus 36-39), a smaller eye (eye diameter 20.1-23.6% HL versus 28.6-38.5) and a larger interorbital distance (47.0-55.6% HL versus 37.9-47.3) (Ref. 39209).
Inhabit large rivers with turbid and slow or standing waters (Ref. 43281). Feed on fishes and zooplankton (Ref. 12693). Oviparous, eggs are unguarded (Ref. 205).

50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00244 - 0.01183), b=3.05 (2.85 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
