Known to scientists from only a few specimens. According to Boni fishermen in Guiana, this fish lives in the deep and rocky zones of the main riverbed. Despite its size, it is not consumed as food by native populations since it has a reputation for being dirty and sticky (Ref. 35381).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01820 (0.01068 - 0.03099), b=3.04 (2.90 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
