May also be found on mud bottom lowland creeks if the specimen from the Bulloo River, Queensland is identified to be this species. Spawning occurs at temperatures over 20°C. Females lay between 200 and 800 eggs, usually on the underside of a hard object. The male guards the eggs until hatching, which takes about 7 days. Fry are approximately 5 millimeters long and there is no parental care after hatching. A poorly known species (Ref. 44894). Allen, G.R., S.H. Midgley and M.
