Polygamous, ovophilic, female mouthbrooding species (Ref. 52307, 81260) that does not form pair bonds (Ref. 52307). Maximum TL was recorded at 16.5 cm (Ref. 5616).

Caudal normally slightly rounded to subtruncate in both sexes, however, in some populations upper rays of caudal fin in males are produced and in one population (“Atogafina” in the region of Monte Cristal) both upper and lower rays of the caudal fin are markedly produced (Ref. 52307, 81260). Actual body shape can vary: specimens from rapidly flowing waters are remarkably more slender than the deep-bodied individuals found in slower flowing areas (Ref. 52307).Coloration: body brown, paler ventrally (Ref. 52307, 81260). Body scales in males with dark margination; cheek and opercle with a yellowish green iridescent flush; soft dorsal, anal and caudal fins in males with small red and pale blue maculae, which are usually poorly developed or absent in females (Ref. 52307, 81260). Spinous dorsal, upper half of soft dorsal and often upper lobe of caudal fin in both sexes with a silvery white to rosy coloration; fin coloration always more prominent in females than males; dorsal fin and upper part of caudal with red margin in both sexes, but more pronounced in males (Ref. 81260). Sometimes 2 rows of interrupted horizontal black stripes on body, but occasionally they are uninterrupted (Ref. 52307, 81260). Females exhibit a broader and bolder iridescent zone on their dorsal fin, as well as (in many specimens) the upper parts of the caudal fin; rarely some dusky and irregular vertical bats are seen on the body, mostly in brooding females (Ref. 52307).
