Etymology: Roeboexodon: Latin, rubus, ruber, reddish + Latin, ex = out + Greek, odous = teeth.

Issue
Species inquirenda in Characidae according to Reis et al. (2003: Ref. 48062). This species is uncertain in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Jul. 2010: Ref. 84883), but is placed in the genus Roeboexodon . Please send references, or more studies are needed.

Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 38376)

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Relatively rare. Encountered in creeks with rapidly flowing water over a sandy substrate. The particular form of its dentition allows it to feed on the scales of the other fish (Ref. 12225). See color photo in Ref. 12225.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.7500   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00457 (0.00179 - 0.01169), b=3.13 (2.90 - 3.36), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.4   ±0.80 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
