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
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00501 (0.00242 - 0.01036), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.9 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
