Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7 - 8; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6 - 7. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: second dorsal fin rays I/7-8 (usually I/8); anal fin rays I/6-7 (usually I/6); pectoral fin rays 16-17 (modally 16); longitudinal scale series 31-32 (modally 31); perdorsal scales 5-6 (modally 6); vertebral count 28; cheek with 7 rather wide reddish orange parallel bands in male; caudal fin base with a central blackish brown spot in male; and pectoral fin base greyish with brown vertical bar in male, anterior basal 1/4 region of pectoral fin with semicircular creamy yellow region in male (Ref. 138527).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
The species inhabits shallow-water riffles and front section of pools, 15-60 cm. in depth, characterized by large pebble substrates and moderate currents (Ref. 138527).

PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00813 (0.00359 - 0.01840), b=3.08 (2.91 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
