Description synthétique
Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Silver body with black margins on dorsal, caudal, anal and pelvic; lower lip with a posterior groove forming a pocket opening backwards (Ref. 43281).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Adults are found in midwater depths in large and medium-sized rivers and lakes. They feed on phytoplankton, but mostly on small crustaceans, rotifers as well as insects and their larvae (Ref. 12693). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106). Aquarium keeping: in groups of 5 or more individuals; minimum aquarium size >150 cm (Ref. 51539).
