Evolved from G. pygmclopsi, they developed to live in Kelpflotensa species. They developed a green coloration to be able to camouflage in vegetation. They also developed larger schools allowing them to easily confuse their predators when schooling. Their width also became shorter making it easier to hide in the nooks of the Kelpflotensa.

Found in Zone 25, it lives in schools of 75-200 specimens and grows to 2-3cm long. The males have a vibrant blue head while the rest are green while females are green without the blue head. Their eye allows them to have a wide range of view but somewhat poor depth perception. They live in kelpflotensa species grazing on it. When provoked by predators this species try to either swim into the densest part of the vegetation of the Kelpflotensa species or dive down to the deep part of zone 25, and later arise to feed. They feed on Kelpflotensa species, F. cenafolius, F.foliumegaeus, F. foliumicroeus, L. cytosol, L.palaeacytosol, N. protos, N. viscosifilum, O. kerensis, P.discus and S. podius.

They are predated by A. shortatailus, A. tropheus, J.jelouwuzzus, M. filterocetus, S. cannibalisii, and S. kelpapygmis.

When breeding each female can only lay 50 eggs (but only 4-10 survive) in vegetation when counting their numbers they can easily populate 3 times larger from one school breeding. The young fry would then feast on vegetation then stay of use the flow of the currents to transport themselves onto another kelpflotensa specimen when they are 1.5 cm long.
