	<dc:description>Adults inhabit marshes, muddy ponds and channels with a salinity range of 0 to 21 ppt (Ref. 7251), up to 38.4 ppt in some cases (Ref. 97140).  Mostly found in fresh water but also in brackish mangrove areas. They ascend upstream but remain in the lower reaches.  Sexually mature after one year.  Gonads develop during the dry season.  Average size at maturity is 5.1 cm for males, 4.5 cm for females.  Omnivorous, adults feed mainly on plants, sediments and invertebrates.  They undergo coloration change during reproduction, carrying out a complex nuptial parade.  Adults guard the nest.  Egg is 0.3 mm, incubation time is 11 to 16 hours at 27°C (Ref. 35237).</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Amphidromous. Refers to fishes that regularly migrate between freshwater and the sea (in both directions), but not for the purpose of breeding, as in anadromous and catadromous species. Sub-division of diadromous.  Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.Characteristic elements in amphidromy are: reproduction in fresh water, passage to sea by newly hatched larvae, a period of feeding and growing at sea usually a few months long, return to fresh water of well-grown juveniles, a further period of feeding and growing in fresh water, followed by reproduction there (Ref. 82692).</dc:description>
