Presence of a convex edge in dorsal fin and 23–33 gill rakers in first gill arch. This species avoids rivers, as well as is absent in the streaming oxbows connected to the rivers. This species is common in landlocked oxbows, karst and suffusion lakes, ponds, and storage reservoirs. It is most frequently found in storage reservoirs, which account for over 50%. The largest presence in the catch (65.4%) was recorded in karst and suffusion lakes.
