Environment / Climate / Range Ecology
Freshwater; brackish; demersal; pH range: 6.5 - 7.5; dH range: 10 - 25; amphidromous (Ref. 51243). Tropical; 18°C - 28°C (Ref. 89713)

Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions | Faunafri
Asia: Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar.
Inhabit freshwaters and tidal rivers. Its bright color and small size attract aquarists. Oviparous, eggs are unguarded (Ref. 205).

Estimates of some properties based on empirical models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82805): PD50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00634 (-0.13496 - 0.14763), b=3.00 (2.91 - 3.08), based on LWR estimates for species & family-BS (Ref. 93245).
Trophic Level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (25 of 100) .
