Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 8-10; Anal soft rays: 12 - 14; Vertebrae: 30 - 31. Differs from all other species of the subgenus Melanorivulus by the possession of the following combination of characters: flank with red marks arranged in chevron-like pattern with vertex on the ventral part of the flank; pelvic fin usually with 6 rays, or sometimes 7 when including a rudimentary ray; scales in the longitudinal series 31-33; dorsal portion of the caudal fin in females with a horizontal series of white spots; pectoral fin with 13 rays; caudal fin with 28-31 rays; and flank in both sexes with conspicuous red bars (Ref. 76937).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits shallow portions of streams and swamps, usually about 0.10-0.30 m deep, with clear water (Ref. 76937).

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).
