Dorsale stekels (totaal): 1; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal): 7; Anale stekels 0; Anale zachte stralen: 12 - 15.
Prefers floodplain to riverine habitats but does occur in rocky areas where habitats are restricted (Ref. 52193). It feeds on typical squeaker diet of detritus, algae and benthic invertebrates (Ref. 52193). Oviparous (Ref. 205). Distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Lives for 4 or 5 years (Ref. 7248).
