Umbridae (Mudminnows)
Etymology: Umbra: Latin, umbra, -ae = shadow, in the sense of phantom; due to its quick movements (Ref. 45335); limi: limi meaning of the mud (Ref. 10294).

Max length : 14.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5723); common length : 8.2 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 12193); âge max. reporté: 4 années (Ref. 12193)
Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Adults occur in quiet areas of streams, sloughs, swamps and other wetlands over mud and debris (Ref. 5723, 10294). Often found in dense vegetation. They can tolerate drought, low oxygen levels and extreme water temperature (Ref. 5723). Adults feed on aquatic insects, amphipods, isopods, and snails (Ref. 10294).
