Biología     Glosario (por ej. epibenthic)

Adults occur in small, well-shaded, slow-flowing streams with mixed sand, silt and rock bottoms; also in deeper rocky pools in gorges. Water is typically fresh and clear, between 21° and 28° C, with a neutral or slightly basic pH (Ref. 44894). Eggs are guarded and fanned by the male parent (Ref. 205).
