Ecologia
marino; salmastro pelagic-neritic; distribuzione batimetrica 1 - 2 m (Ref. 189). Tropical; 14°N - 7°N, 75°W - 59°W (Ref. 189)
Western Central Atlantic: Trinidad and westward to Margarita Island and the Gulf of Venezuela; reaches Cartagena in Colombia if the reported occurrence there (Ref. 5518) is correct.

Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5217); common length : 12.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 5217)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 23 - 27. Snout sharply pointed but short, less than eye diameter; maxilla long, tip pointed, reaching almost to gill opening; gill cover canals of panamensis-type. Anal fin moderate, its origin below or just before midpoint of dorsal fin base. A silver stripe along flank, less than eye diameter.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Occurs in shallow coastal waters, sometimes in large schools, and also in mangrove-lined lagoons in turbid water. On the southern coast of Margarita Island, they appear mainly in February to May at 5-7 cm SL, while larger individuals occur throughout the year in the interior of lagoons. More data needed on food and breeding.
