Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Vertebrae: 33. Has more colorful and intense coloration than other species of the genus. The dorsal fin has a well defined black marginal stripe and a broad red submarginal stripe, and black spots at the base of the fin rays, while the caudal is black with broad red marginal stripes. The dark longitudinal stripes on the body are basically similar to those of L. leptocheila, but are invariably well defined and relatively intense. In specimens from black waters, stripes are very intense and extend to all scale rows on side of body below lateral line. Humeral and peduncular spots absent (Ref. 7424).

Found in clear to black waters and never to rarely in extremely or slightly muddy waters. Feeds on detritus and insect larvae (Ref. 56749).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00488 - 0.01354), b=3.04 (2.90 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.3 ±0.1 se; based on diet studies.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (24 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
