Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 9; Radios blandos anales: 24 - 27; Vértebra: 37 - 40. Differs from all other species of the genus Phallostethus in having the following characters: second ctenactinium with seven serrae in adult males; pectoral fin with 11-13 rays ; 11-14+25-26=37-40 vertebrae; approximately 5-19 teeth on paradentary. Males are dextral based on six specimens; 25-26 caudal vertebrae, sexual dimorphism is also found in the number of precaudal vertebrae, 13-14 in males and 11-12 in females (Ref. 90869).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Occurs in shallow waters (<1.2 m depth) around banks of slow-flowing turbid canals and rivers with soft muddy bottoms. Usually solitary. Sympatric with aplocheilid Aplocheilus panchax (Ref. 90869).
