Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 27.6 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 108880); max. published weight: 189.30 g (Ref. 108880)
Has a well-defined black stripe along the sides from the gill opening to the end of the median caudal rays; 12-13 branched dorsal fin rays; a bright orange or red caudal, dorsal, anal and pelvic fins.
Usually associated with clear, relatively fast flowing waters, with gravel to stony bottom (Ref. 27732).
