This species is found in spring that forms a Buritizal (wetland dominated by the buriti palm, Mauritia flexuosa). This source forms a small stream that flows through sugarcane field and is then dammed to create a small lagoon of crystalline water (Ref. 128688).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00891 (0.00368 - 0.02159), b=3.11 (2.92 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
