Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.9 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 11333); 13.8 cm SL (female)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal soft rays (total): 24; Anal soft rays: 39; Vertebrae: 67. Two terminal bulbs separated by a long interspace, 1.9-2.4 times the length of distal bulb. Barbel length mostly 52-59% SL. Three long filaments, arising together from distal end of distal bulb or from a short stem; with numerous very small bulblets along most of their length. Distal bulb 1.5-1.8 times length of proximal-bulb. Barbel pigment variable, but a prominent dark spot or cap formed at the base of distal bulb. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 9 (Ref. 11333).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 20.3 - 27.7, mean 27.4 °C (based on 11 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00302 (0.00117 - 0.00783), b=3.12 (2.89 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  4.2   ±0.8 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).
