Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 1 - 3; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8 - 13; Épines anales: 1 - 3; Rayons mous anaux: 5 - 8. Transverse scale rows: 10-13. Distinguished from all other family members by having 3 or less dorsal spines (versus 7 or more), 6-7 broad dark bars along flanks (versus 7 or more), 16-18 peduncle scale rows (versus 18-24).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Found on sand, clay, mud and/or limestone substrate commonly associated with rooted, submerged vegetation (Ref. 58011). Oviparous, eggs are deposited in aquatic vegetation, preferably on strands of Ceratophyllum sp. when available (Ref. 58020).
