"Sundasalanx, the Sundaland noodlefishes, is the only genus in the family Sundasalangidae which belongs to the same order as the herrings and their relatives. This family of extremely small fishes is restricted to freshwater environments of Southeast Asia with Indonesia being home to the majority of species. There are currently seven recognized species in this genus." Wikipedia
I am looking for information such as:
- egg size/ mass
- time till/ size at hatch and/ or first feeding
- weight length
- fecundity length
- largest recorded sizes
- any type of laboratory studies with growth and/or reproduction
For this species there is only three papers focused on phylogeny. I don't know if these papers contain references that could provide you the requested information.

Thank you all very much for providing these references. I will check them to see if I can find some quantitative numbers concerning its life history. Kind regards, Starrlight
