Eponymy: Nicolaus Adriani (1865–1926) was a Dutch Christian missionary for the Nederlandsch Bijbelgenootschap. [...] Dr Canna Maria Louise Popta (1860–1929) was one of the first Dutch women to take up ichthyology and one of the first women to study at Leiden, which awarded her degree in Geology, Zoology and Botany.

Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 17.1 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 26747)
Dorsal soft rays (total): 11 - 13; Anal soft rays: 24 - 27. Can be easily distinguished from all other species of Adrianichthyidae by the combination of the following characters: jaws subequal, 24-27 anal fin rays, eye conspicuously smaller than snout, about 75-85 scales in lateral row, 11-13 branched dorsal rays (Ref. 26747).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Eggs are attached to the body, between the pelvic fins (Ref. 31267).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Eggs are carried, protected in a body cavity by the pelvics, until hatching.
