Kurzbeschreibung
Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 102; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 91. Diagnosis: eyes without free orbital margin; dorsal and anal fins partially fused to caudal fin; dorsal and anal fins about 82% and
67% SL, respectively; skull width about 64% of length; external mandibular barbel half of skull length (Ref. 81644).
In no way predatory, but consumes any material available, including detritus. Decayed plant remains, remains of terrestrial insects, insect larvae and other small invertebrates have been found in the stomach (Ref. 41580, 78218). Found among dead leaves in the forest streams of the inundation zones (Ref. 78218).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
