Umwelt: Milieu / Klimazone / Tiefenbereich / Verbreitungsgebiet
Ökologie
seewasser; süßwasser; brackwasser demersal; amphidrom (Ref. 46888); tiefenbereich 0 - 2 m (Ref. 12215). Temperate; 47°N - 38°N, 12°E - 61°E

Geschlechtsreife: Lm 2.2, range 2 - 2.3 cm
Max length : 5.0 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 4696); max. veröff. Alter: 2.00 Jahre (Ref. 126411)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 7; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 7 - 8; Afterflossenstacheln: 1; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 7 - 9; Wirbelzahl: 31 - 32. Anterior oculoscapular, preopercular, and sometimes posterior oculoscapular, canals present; body squamation complete on caudal peduncle and along at least lateral midline to axil. Males with 4-5 major vertical bars.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Inhabit fresh to hyper-saline waters (to 55 ppt) of lakes, estuaries and lagoons, in shallow areas with much weed. Feed on small crustaceans and chironomid larvae (Ref.12215); larvae of the mussel Dreissena polymorpha (Ref. 59043). Lives less than 2 years. Spawns after first winter. Eggs are attached to the roof of a cavity under stones, plant material or shells and are defended by male. Postlarvae are pelagic. (Ref.59043).
Spawns up to 4 portions of eggs (Ref. 59043).
