Etymology: Hippichthys: Greek, ippos = horse + Greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335).

Size / Weight / umur
Kematangan: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 18.0 cm SL jantan/; (Ref. 7050)
Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 23 - 31.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Adults inhabit lower reaches of streams and rivers, also seagrass beds in estuaries and other shallow inshore habitats (Ref. 43081, 44894). Occur in mangrove estuaries and tidal creeks (Ref. 44894). Males exhibit parental care by incubating and guarding the eggs in their brood pouch (Ref. 43081). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205).
Monogamous mating is observed as both obligate and genetic (Ref. 52884). Female deposits eggs on the ventral surface of the male's tail, where they are incubated for several weeks (Ref. 2847).
