Description
Sinocyclocheilus altishoulderus grow to 22 cm (8.7 in) total length;[1] mean length is much less, about 9.7 cm (3.8 in). The eyes are small. The body is hump-backed and depigmented, semi-transparent and whitish in colour.[2]
Ecology and behaviour
Ecology and behaviour of this species are unknown. It shares its habitat (and type locality) with another cave fish species, Sinocyclocheilus donglanensis.[2][4]
Habitat and conservation
The type locality, near Gongping Village, Taiping Town, Donglan County, is a subterranean river some 10–20 metres inside from the mouth of a small cave. During the rainy season, the water can extend outside the cave to form a small lake. The habitat is potentially threatened by water extraction, waste disposal and pesticide pollution, and landscape alterations in general.[2]
