Occurs in clear, vegetated, sand-bottomed pools and slow runs of creeks and small rivers (Ref. 5723). Feeds mainly on small crustaceans (amphipods, cladocerans, and ostracods), aquatic insects (caddisfly, midge, and mayfly larvae, and corixids), and terrestrial insects (ants), and filamentous algae (Ref. 79012).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00232 - 0.01084), b=3.13 (2.94 - 3.32), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.

Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.
