Occurs usually near emergent vegetation in bedrock pools of headwaters, creeks and small rivers. These areas are prone to intermittency and harbor relatively few other fishes. This species appear to be extreme in its ability to tolerate stagnant conditions resulting from low water (Ref. 58354). Feeds on midge larvae, chydorid cladocerans, water mites, copepods and small mayflies (Ref. 10294).
