Habits: preferring shallow water in lakes and rivers, eating aquatic and riverine plants, relatively docile temperament, due to its dull color, no dark abdomen, not very attractive. However, at 15 months of age the adult is very beautiful, especially during the breeding season when it takes on a beautiful matrimonial coloration. Mature males have a slightly raised head. Let's define it as a Mexican species for now, personally I think it's more beautiful in Guatemala.
