Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

This species is found in moderate to fast flowing water, in sections of stream with deep pools separated by short runs; its substrate consists of cobbles and boulders with little fine sediment. Reported to be co-oocurring frequently with purple spotted gudgeons (Mogurnda adspersa), long finned eels (Anguilla reinhardtii) and less commonly with blue-eyes (Psuedomugil signifer), roman nosed gobbies (Awaous acritosis), swamp eels (Ophisternon sp.), grunters (Hephaestus sp.) and exotic guppies (Poecilia reticulata)(Ref. 44137).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179):  Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
