Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.6 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5723 ); common length : 4.4 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 12193 ); max. reported age: 3.00 years (Ref. 12193 )

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Inhabits sandy runs and pools of creeks and small to medium rivers. Occurs usually in clear water. Often found near vegetation in the north part of range (Ref. 5723 , 10294 ). Feeds on filamentous algae and detritus, in addition to the expected small invertebrates (Ref. 10294 ).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00813 (0.00428 - 0.01543), b=3.06 (2.89 - 3.23), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  2.5   ±0.19 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (tmax=3). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
