Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 11 - 12; Radios blandos anales: 8. Belongs to the Puntius conchonius group, distinguished by the combination of the following characters: barbels absent, lateral line complete or almost complete, a minute humeral mark present on and below lateral line scale 3, and transverse scale count ½4/1/4½ (vs. ½4/1/3½ or ½3/1/4½ in other species of Puntius conchonius group). This is similar to Puntius stoliczkanus, but humeral mark much smaller (Ref. 75627).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
A ripe female specimen measuring 4.96 cm SL has eggs in single ovary, with egg size up to 0.6 mm in diameter (Ref. 75627).
