Uko wayimenya

  • Many brown to brownish red bars run along the body, and the bars near the base of the tail are thin and wavy.1
  • A brownish red spot, smaller than the pupil of the eye, sits on the lower gill cover.1
  • The soft-rayed parts of the dorsal, anal and tail fins are see-through, with small brownish red spots scattered on the rays.1
  • The pelvic fin is blackish.1
  • The dorsal fin has 13 spines and 10 soft rays. It has no tentacles above the eyes, or only very small ones.1
