Description synthétique
Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total): 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 8-10; Épines anales 0; Rayons mous anaux: 16 - 18; Vertèbres: 38 - 40. Diagnosis: Anal fin extending over three quarters of length of caudal peduncle; caudal peduncle short; operculum entirely, not partially, shiny; body midline silver, not black; iris dark to light grey, not white; head with tubercles along lower jaw and lower head in breeding males; snout rounded; pelvic fin melanophores absent (Ref. 116496).
This species appear to favour turbid, rocky, river regions where they can gather in pockets of recirculating currents (Ref. 116496). They feed on drifting invertebrate larvae and adults and plankton (Ref. 116496).
