It is unlikely to be the original habitat which was probably pebble to stone bottom. The juveniles were caught among gravel and pebble, and the adult was obtained among bamboos used to build a weir. Associated species in the area were a mix of species usually found in streams with fast current and clear water: Devario cf. laoensis, Poropuntius angustus, Scaphiodonichthys acanthopterus, Schistura defectiva, S. quaesita, Rhinogobius milleri, and species typical of sluggish waters and swamps Puntius brevis, Systomus jacobusboehlkei, Channa gachua, Macropodus opercularis (Ref. 124503).
