Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 28 - 33; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 21 - 24. Diagnosis: For distinguishing between specimens of Cyphomyrus discorhynchus and C. cubangoensis, the most useful anatomical characters are: longer dorsal fin length, longer anal fin length, higher nymber of dorsal fin rays and anal fins rays, and a higher caudal peduncle depth in relation to caudal peduncle length in C. discorhynchus than in C. cubangoensis (Ref. 119538).
Adult specimens prefer larger river channels with soft bottom; small specimens also found in rocky environment; shoaling species (Ref. 119538).
