Size / Weight / Age
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults hide under rocks and boulders in swift-flowing clear water hill streams (Ref. 1479). Oviparous, distinct pairing possibly like other members of the same family (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00776 (0.00432 - 0.01396), b=2.86 (2.71 - 3.01), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
