Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10. Sicyopterus squamosissimus is distinguished by having two lateral clefts on crenulated upper lip, a second dorsal fin with one spine and 10 segmented rays, filamentous second and third rays of the first dorsal fin, 61-66 lateral scales, 21-26 predorsal scales and 17-22 transverse back scales, and a reddish caudal fin in male with a slight blue line on the upper and lower parts (Ref. 106177).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs in small, rapid and boulder-strewn mountain streams with rocky bottoms with two other Sicydiinae, Sicyopterus lagocephalus (Pallas, 1770) and Stiphodon semoni Weber, 1895 (Ref. 106177).
