Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 6 - 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 6 - 7; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 7; Vertebrae: 26. Head and body whitish to light brown; with 7 black bands, at least 5 of which encircling the body. Rounded to elongate lack spot on the center of caudal fin base. Black-bordered whitish oblique streak from eye to corner of mouth. Longitudinal scales 25-28. TRB 7-9. Predorsal scales 8-11; starting close behind eyes, anteriormost scale enlarged. Scales on body mostly ctenoid. Second to 4th spines of dorsal fin longest, often elongate (Ref. 43716).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Inhabits shallow small mangrove creeks and pools; often concealed among leaf litter (Ref. 43716).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 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): 3.2 ±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).
