Issue
No recent species description, but see Weitzman et al. (1988) & Menezes & Weitzman (1990) for identification and relationships. See Burns et al. (1995) for evidence of insemination. See Nelson (1964a) for discussion of courtship behavior.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
; eau douce benthopélagique. Tropical; 18°C - 23°C (Ref. 2059)
South America: usually in clear coastal streams from southern Bahia to northern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Also found in some areas of the high Iguaçu River (Ref. 84543).
Length at first maturity / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm 2.8, range 3 - 3 cm
Max length : 6.1 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 38597)
Inhabit small to moderate-sized streams or rivers (Ref. 30267). Aquarium specimens reach 9.0 cm TL (Ref. 30267). Mature females keep live sperm cells in their ovary through insemination which occurs during the dry season (Ref. 84543). Spawning period coincides with the rainy season to ensure increased survival of offsprings (Ref. 84543).
