Found over rocks in mainstream and in large soft-bottomed floodplain lagoons. Grazes algae and aufwuchs as well as detritus. A shoaling species, breeding in summer, possibly in flooded marginal habitats, as the young fish are caught in large numbers in fish-weirs set across floodwaters receding from floodplains (Ref. 7248).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00871 (0.00469 - 0.01616), b=3.09 (2.93 - 3.25), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.

Generation time: 1.8 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 1 growth studies.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (K=0.6).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
