Second dorsal fin base longer than anal fin base in both sexes, the latter two segmented rays of second dorsal fin and anal fin slightly longer than the others. Pectoral fin oval-shaped, posterior tip extending beyond the vertical position of anus and reaching the vertical position of the first segmented ray of anal fin in male individuals; fin without any free, loose fin rays. Pelvic fins fused with well-developed frenum between spinous rays and membrane between the innermost segmented rays, forming a slightly posteriorly elongated, oval-shaped disc, reaching anterior margin of anus while extending beyond anus only in male individuals. Caudal fin oval shaped, slightly vertically compressed and elongated longitudinally in male individuals.
