Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Ryggkotor: 197 - 199. Similar in to O. aphotistos in dorsal fin origin, above 16th vertebra and biserial dentition, but is more elongated and has more vertebrae, 197-199 (Ref. 40865).
Found in shallow water (Ref. 40865). Probably spends most of the day in a burrow along the river bank and forages actively at night for small fishes (Ref. 12693); in soft bottom (Ref. 7300).
