Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 7 - 8; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 27 - 31; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 27 - 32.

Found in bays, mangrove estuaries, tidal creeks, and lower reaches of freshwater streams (Ref. 2847, 44894, 48636); occasionally in silty coastal reefs (Ref. 9710). It feeds on plankton and detritus (Ref. 5213, 44894). Commonly seen in large schools (Ref. 44894, 52193); small juveniles either solitary or in small aggregations (Ref. 48635). Usually only juveniles enter freshwater (Ref. 52193). Highly territorial (Ref. 9710). Caught with throw nets (Ref. 30573).
