Max length : 5.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 7050)
Differs from all of its congeners by the following combination of characters: lateral line incomplete to absent, perforating 0-6 scales; 29-32 scales along normal course of lateral line; a conspicuous black (bluish black in life) lateral stripe from tip of snout to extremity of median caudal rays; body slender, its depth 4.4-4.8 times in SL (4.0-5.1); caudal peduncle slender than all other Rasbora, its depth 2.3-2.8 times in its length (2.3-3.3); and long and pointed dorsal and anal fins (Ref. 26753).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Common in forest streams and clear black water (Ref. 56749). Maximum length 15 cm TL in Ref. 2060.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00390 - 0.02036), b=3.02 (2.82 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±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).
