Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 1; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 97 - 110; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 80 - 95. Differs from P. albilabris in having a taller dorsal fin and larger eye (Ref. 31103). Differs from Paraplotosus butleri in having a shorter dorsal fin and shorter nasal barbels, rounded pectoral fin shape, fewer procurrent caudal fin rays, and fewer gill rakers. Brown in color, belly area and ventral surface of head whitish (Ref. 31103).

Biologie     Verklarende woordenlijst (bv. epibenthic)
