Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 13.5 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 2058 ); 11.0 cm TL (female) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following characters: a tubercle between eyes; sparse granules on flanks, backward only to below D2 base, rare between upper lateral and dorsal rows of tubercles; head width 94-104 % HL; tubercles in dorsal row 27-30, ventral row 22-25, upper lateral row 10-16 (slightly smaller posteriorly), lower lateral row with few tiny tubercles or absent; chin barbel slightly compressed, thick, about equal in length with eye diameter; origin of D2 in front of anal origin; transverse rows of neuromasts on flank 19-23; no spot in front of D2; sides with dark blotches and irregular dots; a blotch around base of first dorsal usually reaching origin of D2 (Ref. 59043 ); head and body covered with spinulose bony platelets; rounded caudal fins and ventral suckers (Ref. 92840 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Inhabits shallow coastal lagoons and lowland rivers in freshwater and brackish water with salinity below 12 ppt. Adults occur in muddy reaches of rivers; in brackish water, more than 3 m deep (Ref. 4696 , 59043 ). This species spawns after first winter, May-June and females die shortly after spawning while with males, some weeks after. Feeds on mollusks, crustaceans, insect larvae and small fishes (Ref. 4696 , 59043 ). Eggs are pear-shaped (Ref. 4696 ).
