Ecology of Euchiloglanis kishinouyei
 
Main Ref. Zhou, W., X. Li and A.W. Thomson, 2011
Remarks Euchiloglanis davidi has been collected from medium sized rivers with stony or rock substrate. Euchiloglanis davidi is found in rapid flow and creeps along the substrate. Dissecting their intestine indicates that they feed mainly on aquatic insects and their larvae. According to villagers, adults spawn in apertures of the river bottom in May to June and the eggs are viscous (Ref. 86867).
