Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 7. Diagnosis: This species is unique among African Garra in possession of 2 simple and 13 branched rays on the pectoral fin and 1 simple and 8 branched rays on the pelvic fin (Ref. 84041). In addition, it is distinguished from African congeners by the following combination of features: well-developed, large papillate type C disc; fully scaled predorsal region and scaled post pelvic region; unscaled chest and belly; vent located close to anal fin, vent distance 13.2-24.2% of the distance between anal and pelvic fin origins; and intestine long, standard length 28.4-42.0% of intestine length (Ref. 84041).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found in slow flowing pools over sandy substrate, with dense woody river bank vegetation and complete shade at zenith; mean depth of 25 cm, water temperature of 18.3°C and flow rate of 1.3 m/s (Ref. 84041).
