Occurs in a narrow rainforest creek with slow-flowing sections interrupted by occasional rapids where the fish congregated among branches of submerged logs. The stream has a typical assemblage of small-stream dwelling fishes including Tandanus gjellerupi, Chilatherina fasciata, Melanotaenia affinis, Glossamia gjellerupi, Hephaestus transmontanus, Mogurnda aurofodinae, and Oxyeleotris fimbriata. In 2007, a collection done at the same site by P. Unmack yielded two additional species including Glossogobius torrentis and introduced tilapia Oreochromis mossambica (Ref. 116997).
