Espinhos dorsais (total) : 3; Raios dorsais (total) : 8; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 8.

Found in a wide variety of habitats, especially where there is vegetation (Ref. 52193), in shallow water near river outlets or close to swampy areas (Ref. 5595). It feeds on insects and other small organisms (Ref. 52193). Used as bait for the tigerfish (Ref. 7248). Breeds in summer, shoals of ripe adults moving upstream in spate after rain; females produce as many as 8,000 eggs (Ref. 7248, 52193).

Estimates based on models

Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01413 (0.00779 - 0.02563), b=2.99 (2.84 - 3.14), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nível Trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.39 se; based on food items.

Resiliência (Ref. 120179): Elevada, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população menor que 15 meses (K=1.40).

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

Categoria de preço (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
