Description
A maximum body length of 7.8 cm. However, there are unconfirmed reports of larger wild specimens up to 10 cm. A slender-bodied species with females being much broader, with a base color of a brownish green to bluish white. The identifying feature of the species from others of its group is the lack of a black line covering the lateral line, a singular diamond black blotch at the base o the caudle peduncle, and a faded black marking near the end of each lobe of the caudal fin, near similar to the tail of R. trilineata.
Range & habitat
It is found and is possibly endemic to the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia. However, a western Java population had been described.
