Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 12 - 16; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 6 - 8; Spine anali: 17; Raggi anali molli: 13 - 17; Vertebre: 29. Can be differentiated from its congeners by the following combination of characters: caudal fin forked; opercular spot pale or missing; spots and bars on dorsal and caudal-fin membranes brown, red in life; soft rays in unpaired fins pale brown; predorsal and subdorsal back reddish and body above anal fin base iridescent blue to green in life; body with 10-12 faint and inconspicuous dark bars; top of head and predorsal body without dark spots; posterior tip or margin of scales on body conspicuously darker than scales; distal part of first soft pelvic-fin ray red in life (Ref. 42924).

Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Inhabits small hill streams along heterogeneously structured shores with many overhanging shrubs and submerged roots (Ref. 42924).

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=0.01738 (0.00683 - 0.04423), b=2.97 (2.75 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
