Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 7 - 10; Rayons mous anaux: 6 - 10. Strikingly white, one third or more of the dorsal and anal fins in nuptial males, when viewed in clear, shallow water as a brilliant, milky- to pearly-white flag with a proximal, blackened blotch on its posterior margin. Terminal caudal bar strongly developed in adult males. First dorsal fin ray not modified, narrower than or only as broad as the second. Breast fully scaled. Modally 9 dorsal and anal fin rays; 27 lateral line scales; 28 total vertebrae.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep; Cross section: compressed.
Adults occur at relatively high elevations (1800-2300 m). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106).
