जीवविज्ञान     शब्द संग्रह (उदाहरणार्थ epibenthic)

An opportunistic diurnal feeder, eating detritus and plant material, preying on small aquatic animals, including small fish. Very resistant to low temperatures. (Ref. 59043). Common in creeks, rivers, swamps and lakes (Ref. 74689). This species is an easy open spawner that lays its eggs on a stone or piece of wood (Ref. 12251). Both parents care for the eggs and fry (Ref. 12251). Consumed locally. Reported to reach 25.0 cm SL (Ref. 59043).

This species is an easy open spawner that lays its eggs on a stone or piece of wood. Both parents care for the eggs and fry (Ref. 12251). In Europe where it has invaded native drainages, spawns when temperature rises above 28-30°C. Forms pairs during spawning and both sexes are territorial. Females deposits eggs on exposed hard surfaces such as stones or wood. Both parent guard larvae and juveniles for 1-3 weeks (Ref. 59043).
