Short description Morfologi | Morfometri

Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 12 - 19; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 5-9; Taggstrålar i analfenan 15-20; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7 - 15; Ryggkotor: 27 - 29. Caudal fin rounded; lower margin of preorbital weakly serrated, embedded under skin (Ref. 559). Stripe crossing eye not connecting spot on posterior projection of opercle with eye; posterior dorsal-fin rays filamentous behind vertical of posterior anal-fin rays in adults; 6-13 gill rakers on ceratobranchial of first arch; posterior tip of margin of scales on body not darker than scales (Ref. 42924).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Obligate air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Biology similar to Macropodus opercularis. Reported to be well-adapted to low winter temperatures (4-25°C); adults and juveniles (about 1.5 cm SL), are sometimes active under ice cover (E. Willems pes.comm. 11/12).
