Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 7276)

Inhabits freshwater streams that frequently have moderate to high turbidity levels (Ref. 5259). Found among vegetation at the margin of creeks and rivers (Ref. 44894). Not much information on natural history, however, Ref. 7276 reports that it is a carnivore (confirmed by Ref. 6398) and Ref. 2906 reports that it breeds in small ponds or aquaria.

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
