Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 8 - 10; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10 - 13; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 10 - 13.
Found in a wide range environments from desert bores and muddy swamps to clear jungle streams. Inhabits rivers, creeks and billabongs, in quiet or slowly flowing sections among vegetation or rocks. Young fish feed mostly on microcrustaceans. Adult fish prey upon insects, crustaceans, worms, mollusks, fishes and plant materials. Spawns during the rainy season (November to March). Female produces several batches of 100-500 eggs which are deposited on rocks or logs. The males guards and fans the eggs until hatching, which takes about 8-10 days. The population on the Barkly Tableland (Northern Territory) may eventually prove to be a separate species (Ref. 44894).

Female may produce several batches of 100-150 eggs which are deposited on rocks or logs. Eggs are guarded and fanned by the male until hatching, which takes 8-10 days

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00420 - 0.02379), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.46 se; based on food items.
Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
