Max length : 17.4 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 121522); common length : 10.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5514); max. published weight: 62.70 g (Ref. 121522)
Inhabits rivers and lakes.
Fish gather in shallow parts of rivers for spawning. A male presses laterally against a female and stirs up the river bed by vibrating his anal fin to bury released eggs. Satellites commonly cannibalize eggs (Ref. 5514).
