The Green Prigi

Green Prigi is a small sleeper fish of coastal freshwater streams and estuarine margins. Shallow vegetation provides characteristic cover where streams approach the sea.

Island Distribution

The range includes western Indian Ocean islands such as Madagascar, Comoros and Reunion, together with Southeast Asian and Pacific island records. Those islands hold separate stream systems, so an island and stream name are more informative than a broad ocean-region label.

Stream Margins

Adults favor shallow, vegetated edges of freshwater streams entering estuaries. The fish is associated with fresh, brackish and marine phases in species accounts. A coastal-stream record should therefore retain salinity and proximity to the mouth rather than implying permanent isolation inland.

Food and Size

Mosquito larvae and other insect larvae are recorded foods. The maximum reference is eight centimeters standard length, excluding the tail fin. Loss of vegetated coastal margins can alter this habitat, making the exact condition of stream-edge cover useful observation information.

Keep the Vegetated Edge

The shallow stream margin is a specific habitat feature. Note plant cover and distance from the estuary when recording Green Prigi.
