Short description Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total): 6 - 8; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 10-12; Espinas anales 1; Radios blandos anales: 16 - 20. This species has a distinct colour pattern with a blue-black mid-lateral band and orange margins on vertical rows (Ref. 44137).

This species is found in moderate to fast flowing water, in sections of stream with deep pools separated by short runs; its substrate consists of cobbles and boulders with little fine sediment. Reported to be co-oocurring frequently with purple spotted gudgeons (Mogurnda adspersa), long finned eels (Anguilla reinhardtii) and less commonly with blue-eyes (Psuedomugil signifer), roman nosed gobbies (Awaous acritosis), swamp eels (Ophisternon sp.), grunters (Hephaestus sp.) and exotic guppies (Poecilia reticulata)(Ref. 44137).

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=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Nivel trófico (Ref. 69278): 2.9 ±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).
