Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5217); common length : 7.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5217)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 17. Snout short, about 1/2 eye diameter and projecting only slightly beyond lower jaw; maxilla short, tip bluntly rounded, failing to reach pre-operculum by about 1/2 pupil diameter; lower jaw longer than upper, its symphysis almost at tip of snout. Gill cover canals of panamensis-type. Anal fin origin below last part of dorsal fin base. Stripe about 3/4 eye diameter over anal fin (Ref. 188).
Occurs in coastal waters, but also in estuaries and into almost freshwater. Ripe or almost ripe individuals were caught in March and May.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 27 - 27.9, mean 27.5 °C (based on 78 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
