Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 3.2 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 39226)
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos anales: 8. Distinguished by its unique color pattern: young (2-2.5 cm SL) with 5-8 dark brown blotches, usually longitudinally elongated along lateral line and 6-8 saddles along dorsal mid-line, while adults the saddles extend downward and superficial pigments are superimposed to the former pattern, forming a marmorated pattern; large hammer-shaped suborbital flap in males (its depth about half eye diameter); and thickened first branched pectoral ray in males (Ref. 39226).
Occurs in stream with slow current and with depth never more than 30 cm during the dry season. Also found in shallow riffles over pebbles up to 5 cm in diameter, with clear water and moderate current. A female measuring 3.12 cm SL contained ripe ovulae about 0.7 mm in diameter (Ref. 39226).

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=0.00692 (0.00311 - 0.01538), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nivel trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref.
120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
