Relevant Information: |
Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal
soft rays: 5. Anal fin with 4 branched rays; dorsal surface
of body and head covered by distinct black dots; low caudal
peduncle 9.7-11.3% SL; 94-120 teeth in each dentary. Mature
males possess the remarkable morphological modifications already
known to occur in other Pareiorhaphis species, a skin
fold on the dorsal surface of the unbranched pelvic-fin ray,
a thickened pectoral-fin spine, fleshy lobes on the lateral
margins of head, and hypertrophied odontodes emerging from those
fleshy lobes and on the pectoral-fin rays. When compared to
males, females posses an enlarged, swollen urogenital opening,
while males have a small and pointed urogenital papilla. Aquarium
Care: Will need a good water flow in the aquarium as
found under rocks in fast flowing waters. |
