In fresh and brackish waters of estuaries. Occurs in small swamps and shallow slow-flowing creeks located inland where the water is really fresh, along riverine vegetation with clear water and sandy-muddy substrate. Three color forms of males are recognized, the frequency of which may depend upon predation pressure (Ref. 35237).
