Eponymy: Andrew Arunava Rao is an ornamental-fish collector and breeder who owns and runs ‘Malabar Tropicals’. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría

Espinas dorsales (total) : 12 - 14; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 14; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 7 - 8. This species differs from its congeners by its pale bluish-white body color in life (vs. mottled brown); differs from Nandus nandus, the only South Asian congener, in having body depth 24.3-29.1% SL (vs. 28.2-34.3); pelvic fin length 16.2-18.9% SL (vs. 18.0-21.2); from Nandus nebulosus, Nandus oxyrhynchus and Nandus prolixus by the presence (vs. absence) of dark spot on the caudal peduncle, by having lateral line scales 45-52 (vs. 24-37) and body depth 24.3-29.1% SL (vs. 30.7-44.1) (Ref. 75197).
