Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 1; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 7; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 17 - 19
Prefers lakes, but also occurs in the main river channels. Enters floodplains occasionally. Occurs at temperatures ranging from 26 to 32°C. Mainly diurnal. Feeds on large crustaceans such as Macrobrachium, large insects and nymphs, fishes (usually Ophieleotris aporos), leeches, earthworms, plants and detritus.
