Max length : 2.6 cm male/unsexed; (Ref. 76975); 2.3 cm SL (female)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-10; Anal soft rays: 12 - 14; Vertebrae: 29 - 30. Distinguished from all other species of the subgenus Melanorivulus in having small white spots forming a reticulate pattern on the dorsal fin and the basal part of the anal fin, and forming narrow bars on the caudal fin in males, and a narrow basihyal, width about 35% of the basihyal length. Can be diagnosed from all congeners by the unique combination of the following characters: entire flank with a continuous mid-lateral dark gray stripe; scales in longitudinal series 30-31; flank with close red dots, arranged in chevron-like series with the vertex on the mid-lateral line; and caudal fin in males with red bars (Ref. 76975).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found in a shallow (about 10 cm deep), slightly inclined swamp with slow water current, in open vegetation area (Ref. 76975).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00661 (0.00311 - 0.01404), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
