Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5163)
Dorsal spines (total): 16; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 12; Anal spines: 3; Anal soft rays: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: lower pharyngeal bone about as long as broad, with anterior lamella shorter than toothed area; median pharyngeal teeth not broadened; 12-14 scales on caudal peduncle; 8-9 lower gill-rakers; 10-12 soft dorsal rays (Ref. 53405).
Rheophilic species (Ref. 53405). Probably pair-bonding, open substratum spawner, with both parents guarding the brood (Ref. 52307).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.1 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.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
