Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 14 - 15; Raios dorsais (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 8 - 10; Vértebras: 28 - 29. Diagnosis: mouth strongly upturned, making an angle of about 50° with the horizontal; outer row jaw teeth reduced and few in number, inner row teeth minute tricuspids; lower pharyngeal jaw markedly longer than wide, with a reduced dentigerous surface, and covered with a ‘felt’ of tiny unicuspid teeth (Ref. 81260).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Prefers open water regions at greater depths, but ventures into the more shallow areas of the lake for spawning, which normally occurs during the rainy season; mainly feeds on phytoplankton and small insects; probably ovophilic mouthbrooder; males occupy a tertitory of ca. 50 cm and it is often possible to find large numbers of males in a limited area (Ref. 52307).
