Environment Specifics
- This is typically associated with a blackwater environment, mainly in rivers. In central Amazon, it occurs both in black and clear waters but only in dense vegetation where here is minimal light. This fish inhabits water with low pH, low conductivity and low level of dissolved oxygen.
Behaviour
This section requires expansion with: Any behaviour quirks such as gulping air, or aggressiveness.. |
Identification
- Can be mistaken for juvenile Glanidium leopardum, with which it is distinguished by means of the pectoral spines (having projections vs. smooth) and by the number of rays in the anal fin (8-9 vs. 12-14).
