Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 27139); common length : 2.9 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 12193); max. reported age: 2.00 years (Ref. 12193)

Inhabits vegetated sloughs, ponds, lakes, and pools and backwaters of streams. Often common near springs. Usually swims well below surface of water (Ref. 5723). Not a seasonal killifish. Is easy to maintain in the aquarium (Ref. 27139).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00405 - 0.01297), b=3.03 (2.87 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.2 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resilience (Ref. 120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tmax=2).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
