Evolved from G. makari they were pushed to zone 6 due to intraspecific competition and predation. They developed to be longer and much thinner making them more streamlined allowing them to be faster. They are predated by V. spinaquarius, T. therophagus, T. katharagnathus, T.pelagicus, P.natans, A. tridactylus, and R. gigas.

Found in zone 6, males grow up to 7-9cm long and females grows up to 6-8cm long. They feed on F. cenafolius, F. foliumicroeus, Racomitrium species, S.podius, A. okeanus, F. foliluminio, F. foliumegaeus, and L. cytosol They swim in shoals of about 70-200 individuals. They occasional filter feeder staying near the surface the surface to feed on small microorganisms and bits of detritus, making them exposed from predators above which when spotted a flying predator they quickly dive to deeper part of the water column.

Males and females look almost the same, with the males having a lighter green line on the sides of the stomach and a darker green line on the sides of the back, the females lack the green stripes the males have, and instead have a very faint green “mask” on their heads.

When breeding, females start to increase in size to accommodate the larger amount of eggs they produce. Generally gravid females 8-10cm long, when they spawn they release eggs in large amounts(of about 50 or more eggs) with milt into the water letting eggs attached onto rocks, plants, or floating debris, or just letting them free float in the water column, which results in a higher mortality rate compared to those laid on vegetation and rocks. When the eggs hatch as 0.5cm their fully independent of themselves and start shoaling in clusters trying to find cover until they get up to 3cm long which they then start to swim in open water.
