Épines dorsales (Total) : 3; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 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

Phylogenetic diversity index (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).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.39 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 0.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (K=1.40).

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

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
