Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 8; Rayons mous anaux: 5. This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the following characters: body slender, BDD 23.8-26.3% SL; last undivided dorsal fin ray is feebly osseous and flexible, elongated pectoral fin reaching to ventral fin; lateral line scales 23-24; scales between lateral line and ventral fin 2.5 (Ref. 132394).
Cross section: compressed.
This edible fish occurring in the water bodies of Wayanad prefers rapidly flowing shallow and clear waters. According to local fishermen, it appears in great numbers in paddy fields during the onset of southwest monsoon. Since it is said to occur only in unpolluted areas, protection of water bodies is inevitable for the survival of this fish (Ref. 132394).
