Tropical Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri South America: Orinoco River basin, from the Inírida River (Colombia) to Maripa, (Venezuela) Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 3.8 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 36377 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 7 - 8; Dorsal soft rays (total): 14-16; Anal spines : 2; Anal soft rays : 6 - 8. This species is distinguished from all other cichlids by having only two (vs. three or more) anal spines; differs from B. opercularis by lacking anguloarticular lateralis canal; 3 or 4 (vs. 5) skin openings and 2 or 3 (vs. 4) canal fragments representing the dentary lateralis canal; dorsal fin with slightly prolonged anterior spines and lappets; modal dorsal fin count VII.15 (vs. VIII.14); and 6 (vs. 5) dark spots along the middle of the side (Ref. 86446 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) The type locality was a shallow laguna about 25 m wide, with transparent water, vegetation resembling needlegrass; water temperature 34°C; associated with another cichlid species, Crenicara filamentosum , the dominant species at the locality (Ref. 86446 ). Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae Eggs are deposited at the ceiling of a cave; the female tends to eggs and yolk-sac larvae; both parents care for the free-swimming young (Ref. 42051 ).

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00283 - 0.01852), b=3.13 (2.91 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Assuming Fec<1000). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
