Swim bladder with a single posterior extension, a short bulbous projection anteriorly with one to three anterolobate or recurved projections; no tubular extensions anteriorly. Body color is uniform pale tan, with the second dorsal fin spotted.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: circular.
Occur with S. sihama apparently in mixed schools on muddy substrates. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Females, measuring 25 to 28 cm, have been reported to be running ripe in late January to early February.
