Determinatiesleutels | Morfologie | Morfometrie
Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 8; Anale zachte stralen: 8. Lepidomeda copei can be diagnosed by the following characters: leatherlike in appearance due to its small scales (lateral line scales 68-85); black specks on silver blue back and sides; dorsal fin with 8 rays; anal fin with 8 rays; pharyngeal teeth 1,4-4,1 to 2,5-4,2; slender; barely compressed body; large eye; terminal mouth; and rounded snout. Breeding males possess red paired and anal-fin bases, lower love of caudal fin, and upper edge of gill cover (Ref. 86798).
Adults inhabit sluggish pools and backwaters, usually over mud or sand, of creeks and small to medium rivers (Ref. 86798). Migratory behaviour is undetermined (Ref. 126106).
