; acqua dolce benthopelagico. Tropical; 10°N - 2°N

Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.2 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 53940)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 15 - 16; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 11 - 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 9 - 10. Diagnosis: snout pointed; mouth at an angle of about 20-30° with the horizontal (Ref. 53940, 81260). Teeth usually only in 2 series (Ref. 53940). Lower pharyngeal bone very slender with a relatively long blade (Ref. 53940), markedly longer than wide (Ref. 81260). Lower jaw with a slight mental process; can always be recognised when freshly caught by the blood that swells the capillaries, especially at the bases of the fins, and oozes over the surface, staining its silvery color; no dark markings on body of freshly caught specimens; 2-5 dark blotches appear between upper lateral line and dorsal fin, and sometimes also a vague dark stripe at the level of the horizontal myoseptum, in preserved specimens (Ref. 53940).
Mainly feeds on mosquito larvae; possesses elevated levels of hemoglobin in its blood as an adaptation to reduced oxygen levels at great water depth; possibly an ovophilic
mouth brooder that does not pair-bond (Ref. 52307).
