Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 9; Radios blandos anales: 12 - 13; Vértebra: 31. Anal fin with 11-13 rays; scales on the longitudinal series 29-30; caudal fin acuminate in males; mandibular neuromasts 4 +2; jaw length 19.5-23.5% of HL; dorsal portion of pectoral-fin base with dark grey spot; flank dark brown with horizontal rows of greenish blue spots on anterior portion and metallic blue bars on posterior portion in males, dark brown stripe on isthmus in males, dark brown and white alternating short bars on basal portion of anal fin in males and horizontal rows of pale golden to pale blue spots on flank in females (Ref. 72398).

Found in creeks and swamps in open vegetation areas, in shallow water (about 5-10 cm deep), both in clear and tea colored water (Ref. 72398). Feeds mainly on ostracods and terrestrial arthropods, but also takes copepods and decapods (Ref. 72398).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliencia (Ref. 120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

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