It occurs in coastal rivers and streams (Ref. 4127) where it can be found in quiet water amongst vegetation (Ref. 30558, 52193) or in the vicinity of logs at river edges (Ref. 30558). It is ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). During mating the female passes eggs to the male and the eggs become fertilized as they pass into the pouch of the male (Ref. 30558). The male brood the eggs and larvae in an abdominal pouch (Ref. 7248, Ref. 30558). After about three weeks the pouch opens and the male gives birth to fully formed young (Ref. 30558). The young begin to feed soon and may take refuge in the male pouch if necessary (Ref. 30558). It probably feeds on minute invertebrate organisms such as crustaceans and insects (Ref. 30558, 52193).
它出现于沿海的河川与溪流 (参考文献 4127) 中在那里它在植物 (参考文献 30558) 之中的静止水域中被发现于或在河边缘在邻近圆木.(参考文献 30558) 它是卵胎生的.(参考文献 205) 在交配母鱼海峡卵到的时候，当他们获准进入雄鱼的小袋的时候，变得的雄鱼与卵受精了。 (参考文献 30558) 雄鱼孵卵而且仔鱼在一个腹部的小袋。 (参考文献 7248, 参考文献 30558) 在大约三个星期之后小袋开放的与雄鱼对完全形成的幼鱼生产.(参考文献 30558) 幼鱼开始如果有需要的话很快覓食而且可能在雄魚小袋中佔據藏身處.(參考文獻 30558) 它可能吃細小的無脊椎的生物例如甲殼動物與昆蟲。 (參考文獻 30558)
