deskripsi pendek
Morfologi | Morfometrik
Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)): 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)): 72-89; Duri dubur 0; Sirip dubur lunak: 55 - 71; vertebrata, bertulang belakang: 59 - 64. Diagnosis: head oval-shaped in dorsal outline; snout slightly rounded; eyes dorsally located (Ref. 248). Frontal fontanella short and wide/squat (Ref. 248, 57129). Occipital fontanelle rather long and oval-shaped; "dermosphenotic" and supraorbital bones joined; tooth plates small; suprabranchial organ not well developed (Ref. 248). Distance between occipital process and dorsal-fin base short (4.9-9.3% of standard length); pectoral spine serrated on both sides (Ref. 57129).
Coloration: live fish as well as preserved specimens very light-coloured: back and sides yellowish brown, belly lighter; some specimens show submarginal blackish marks on vertical fins (Ref. 57129).
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Occurs in lagoons and coastal rivers (Ref. 248). Feeds on insects, mollusks and crustaceans (Ref. 41457).
