Entorno: milieu / zona climática / rango de profundidad / gama de distribución
Ecología
marino; salobre pelagic-neritic; rango de profundidad 10 - 13 m. Tropical; 3°S - 32°S, 134°E - 157°E (Ref. 189)

Longitud en la primera madurez / Tamaño / Peso / Edad
Madurez: Lm 5.0  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.0 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 189)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 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.
