: 11. Body except for snout, pectoral base and caudal peduncle covered with prickles; teeth fused into plates, two plates on each jaw; nostril with two openings; body dark green dorsally with six transverse black bars, white ventrally; fins dusky green or dark brown (Ref.
13608
).
Solitary or in groups of 2 or 3 individuals but never in schools (Ref.
35237
). Inhabits shallow inshore waters usually on soft bottoms. Frequently found in freshwater (Ref.
13608
). When threatened, it becomes inflated like a balloon, in order to ward off predators. Carnivorous, feeding mainly on mollusks which crushes with its powerful teeth (Ref.
35237
). Of negligible commercial importance and usually not marketed (Ref.
5217
).
