Length at first maturity / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ?, range 7 - ? cm
Max length : 14.5 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 5316)
Raios dorsais moles (total) : 36 - 39. This species is distinguished by the following characters: tail rings 28-30), dorsal-fin rays 36-39; subdorsal tail rings 7-8 (Ref. 132364).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: angular.
Majority of collections are from freshwater streams and rivers. Probably reaches 14.5 cm SL. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).
