Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri
South America: coastal rivers of Trinidad and northern Venezuela and from the Meta River basin.
Size / Weight / Age
Aquarium species reach 7.0 cm. TL (Ref. 1672).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Males deposit sperm capsules in the oviduct. Fertilization takes place at spawning without the male being present.
