Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Median longitudinal stripe or row of adjacent black spots on the body, with an unpigmented stripe above it (color pattern may become obscured or faint in larger specimens) (Ref. 43281). Caudal fin with 5-6 indistinct or irregular bars (Ref. 12693).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Inhabits slow-moving, shallow waters of canals and inundated floodplains (Ref. 12693), usually on or in muddy substrates (Ref. 43281). Lives in swamps and rivers including peats (Ref. 57235). Also found in mountain streams, preferring sandy or gravelly bottom (Ref. 51717). Occurs in running waters of lower Mekong (Ref. 36667).
