Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.3 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 36377); 30.0 cm TL (female); common length : 12.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 12193)

Occurs in canals and swamps (Ref. 7020). Tolerates low oxygen. Feeds on crustaceans and insects (Ref. 7020). Males are bigger than females which become mature at 7 to 9 cm (20-25 g). Spawning occurs at the start of the rainy season. About 700 eggs are spawned on open substrate and are cared for by the parents. Max length 35 cm TL (Ref. 35237).

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=0.02042 (0.00927 - 0.04498), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.53 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (tmax=20).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (20 of 100).
