Sirip dubur lunak: 165 - 205. Brachyhypopomus regani is distinguished from other species of the genus Brachyhypopomus by the following combination of characters: presence of accessory electric organ over opercular region (vs. absence in all congeners except B. bombilla and B. menezesi); dorsal surface with large dark blotches against a lighter background (vs. dorsal surface speckled with small brown chromatophores on a pale background in B. bombilla); and caudal filament length 11.1-17.9% of length to end of anal fin (vs. 24.-33.3% in B. menezesi) (Ref. 116763).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs only in high-conductivity whitewater floodplains in floating rafts of macrophytes and leaf
litter of newly-inundated forest. Feeds on aquatic insect larvae, microcrustacea, and other small aquatic invertebrates with a predominance of Chironomidae larvae. Spawns in floating macrophytes during the rising and high water period (Ref. 116763).
