Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 12 - 15; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9-11; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 9. This species is distinguished from its congeners, except G. labiatus, by having a thick, extremely well developed lips, with the lower lip deeply notched medially; differs from labiatus by the presence of a dark band extending posteroventrally from the dorsal-fin origin (vs. absent), and by the dorsal, anal and caudal-fin color patterns, where fins are partially or completely covered with well-defined circular dots (vs. small longitudinal stripes) (Ref. 118066).
This species is found exclusively in stone bottom habitats, covered with all sizes of stones and rocks along the rio Quaraí and its tributaries (Ref. 118066).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01862 (0.00849 - 0.04084), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
