Könsmognad: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.0 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 81260)
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 15 - 16; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 10; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: lower pharyngeal jaw robust, with a large, non-heart-shaped dentigerous plate, covered with stout, sparsely arrayed teeth; oral dentition coarse (Ref. 81260). 10-15 (Ref. 26738) stout bicuspids oral teeth in outer row (Ref. 26738, 81260). Anterior rakers not markedly reduced in size; snout small and projecting (Ref. 81260). Lips hypertrophied; ventral margin of lower lip folded and fringed (Ref. 26738, 81260). Breeding coloration: base body color pale yellow on dorsum and bright reddish-pink along venter and snout, cheek, chin, chest and operculum a brighter red(Ref. 26738).
Clearly prefers plant material, but also accepts detritus, sponges and phytoplankton (Ref. 52307). Pair-bonding (Ref. 52307), open (Ref. 52307) substrate brooder/spawner (Ref. 52307, 81260). Prefers to spawn in pits or shallow cavities in submerged wood; clusters of eggs fairly small in size, containing about 30 eggs; female usually guards the eggs while the male defends the territory (Ref. 52307).
