Inhabits the bottom of warm, artesian, spring-fed pools and their outlet streams. Tolerates salinity to 10 p.p.t. and temperatures between 16° and 44°C, but usually remains in water between 30° and 38°C. Fish active at night. Stomach contents consist of hydrobiid snails, conchostracans, hard parts of unidentified insects or caddisfly larval cases (Ref. 27663, 44894), microcrustaceans, fishes (hardyheads) and some plant material.
