Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 9 - 10; Radios blandos anales: 8; Vértebra: 35 - 36. This species is distinguished from other congeners from the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin and its adjacent basins by the combination of the following characters: 3-4 rows of black spots horizontally across dorsal-fin; 5-7 more or less organized rows of black spots on rays vertically across caudal-fin; slightly emarginated caudal-fin with 8+8 branched rays; 20-30 narrow black bars on the body; incomplete lateral line extending up to vertical through pelvic-fin origin, with 26-35 pores; males with a sub-orbital flap; and intestine looped behind the stomach (Ref. 94258).
Inhabits small pool with slow-flowing water and substrate composed of sand, gravel and rocks. Occurs in association with Exostoma cf. barakensis, Garra spp. and Lepidocephalichthys guntea. A female measuring 7.56 cm SL contained ovulae 0.8-1.2 mm in diameter (Ref. 94258).
