Max length : 7.5 cm SL jantan/; (Ref. 81643)
Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; Duri dubur: 0; Sirip dubur lunak: 51 - 68. Diagnosis: adipose fin present; inner side of pectoral spine feebly serrated, with small to very small serrations; 51-68 soft anal fin rays; vomerine teeth usually absent; a dark triangular blotch at base of caudal fin (Ref. 43912, 81643).
Confined to large and moderate rivers; sometimes penetrates into estuaries; gregarious schooling species, such schools probably an important prey for several larger carnivorous species (Ref. 43912). Oviparous, eggs are unguarded (Ref. 205). Maximum TL reported 85 mm (Ref. 43912).
