Pethia didi markings rather than one. Pethia didi Pethia didi is a species of cyprinid fish which has only been recorded in the vicinity of Myitkyina and Indawgyi Lake in the north of Myanmar. This is a small fish which can reach a length of SL. It is generally brownish with a dark vertical bar just behind the operculum and a round dark blotch on the caudal peduncle. The species "P. tiantian" – with a range close to "P. didi" – is similarly marked, but "P. didi" can be distinguished by its truncated lateral line, deeper body and longer dorsal fin, with
Lanternfish pectoral fins, usually with eight rays, may be large and well-developed to small and degenerate, or completely absent in a few species. In some species, such as those of the genus "Lampanyctus", the pectorals are greatly elongated. Most lanternfish have a gas bladder, but it degenerates or fills with lipids during the maturation of a few species. The lateral line is uninterrupted. In all but one species, "Taaningichthys paurolychnus", a number of photophores (light-producing organs) are present; these are paired and concentrated in ventrolateral rows on the body and head. Some may also possess specialised photophores on the caudal peduncle,
