After migrating to zone 9, S. electrica was able to further develop into S. voltus. The main changes with this species are a dorsal fin and a number of new small electric pores around the existing large ones. These new areas are used to generate an electric field around the organism which allows it to use electroreception. This new advancement helps it evade the large numbers of predators much easier. The dorsal fin also assists in this, even further increasing their agility and control in the water. When they are attacked, they release a large shock of electricity just like their ancestor, however now due to their electroreceptive capabilities they now can detect predators earlier, making their shocks more precise. They are also able to somewhat combat their numbness by controlling the amount of electricity released. If they detect a predator approaching, they will increase the voltage of their electric field, causing the predator to have low voltage run through them, causing them to become tingly and uncomfortable. While this is less effective against more determined predators like those from genera Dunkleognathusensis and Avianaquarius, it is effective in deterring and warning more hesitant predators like larger moxipods. Of course, when a more determined predator does approach, they will release the full shock upon them. This full shock will leave the organism slightly numbed for up to 20 minutes, making them slightly more vulnerable. This numbness is because they derive their electricity from the electric signals in their nervous system. When this electricity is released, they don't have enough leftover to properly maintain their electrical signals. They are also unable to maintain their electric field in this state.

This organism has a diet consisting of A. invictus, K. primaflotens, F. foliumgaeus, F. foliumicroeus, and T. extensiensus. Adults of this species reach a size of 3 feet in length, and will reproduce once they reach that length. They reproduce with egg batches numbering from 10-15.
