Facultative air-breathing (Ref. 126274); Occurs in the upper reaches of basins, may be abundantly caught in creeks with flowing waters, sandy to sandy-muddy bottoms, width 3 to 5 m and depth 0.3 to 2 m. Feeds by driving their snout into the substrate up to the eyes and drawing out dead snails, decaying leaves, worms or other benthic organisms. They can also catch their prey in open water (Ref. 35381).
