Etymology: Neochanna: Greek, neos = new + Greek, channe, -es = an anchovy (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: F Cleaver of West Ulverstone, Tasmania, discovered the holotype (1933) burrowed inside the root of a eucalyptus tree, where it had been aestivating. We have not been able to discover more about him. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Max length : 12.5 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5259); common length : 10.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5259)
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs in swamps, drains and ponds. The species is likely capable of aestivation as individuals are sometimes encountered in mud or beneath logs or stones when pools dry up. Feeds partly on bottom detritus and insects.
