Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 8; Anal soft rays: 6 - 7; Vertebrae: 51 - 55. Peculiar color pattern, usually consisting of a white ventral half and a black dorsal half, seldom with 8-11 saddles. Additional useful characters are the small eye (ca. 1.0% SL, 7% HL), the lower lip interrupted medially, each half triangular with only a shallow median lobe (versus well developed in other species), not ending into a barbel-like pointed tip.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Inhabits shallow, black or brown water swamps in open areas.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00241 - 0.01141), b=3.05 (2.87 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±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.
