Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Body shape (shape guide): elongated.

Inhabits mainstream rivers and floodplains (Ref. 58784). Omnivorous, feeding on plant matter and small benthic animal (Ref. 58784). Tens of thousands of specimens are exported annually from Thailand for the ornamental trade, all now captive bred (Ref. 12217). Aquarium keeping: solitary, adults are territorial and may 'bully' other fish; minimum aquarium size 12.0 cm (Ref. 51150).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Fonte Biblio. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5625 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00451 - 0.01683), b=3.09 (2.93 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Fonte Biblio. 69278): 3.0 ±0.34 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Fonte Biblio. 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). 🛈
