These species have a sharp spine on the opercle, soft and spinous parts of the dorsal fin contiguous, three spines in the anal fin, tubed pores in the lateral line, villiform teeth and a rounded caudal fin.[2] In addition, they differ from the related genus Dario by being larger and displaying more involved parental care.[3]
