Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 5298)
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit the shallow littoral zone, in areas exposed to sunlight, between algae-covered pebbles. Feed almost exclusively on algae (Ref. 5981). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114). Mature nesting males actively defend territory, court females and provide parental care to eggs (Ref. 94113).
