Ambiente: milieu / zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / gama de distribuição
Ecologia
marinhas; estuarina pelagic-neritic; intervalo de profundidade 10 - 13 m. Tropical; 3°S - 32°S, 134°E - 157°E (Ref. 189)

Comprimento na primeira maturidade / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm 5.0  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 189)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 19 - 20. Belly with 5 to 7 small needle-like pre-pelvic scutes. Maxilla tip pointed, reaching to or beyond hind border of pre-operculum, the latter concave, indented near maxilla tip. Anal fin origin far forward, below the second to sixth dorsal fin ray bases. The advanced anal fin and the presence of fine teeth on hyoid bones distinguish this species from others in the area.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Presumed coastal, pelagic and schooling. Probably tolerates lowered salinities, judging from the type locality and its occurrence in bays and inlets. Apparently not abundant. More material needed.
