Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); This curious fish is so fine that it resembles a brushwood. Mimetic. Frequently occurs in shallow creeks (Ref. 27188) that are not so sunny but with a strong current and a rocky substrate. General activity is poor since it remains hidden in the anfractuosities of logs during the day. Feeds on periphyton and associated organisms. The mating couple choose a narrow hole to spawn the eggs (about 50,000 eggs), after having cleaned the substratum. The male takes care of the eggs (Ref. 35381).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00646 (0.00235 - 0.01774), b=3.04 (2.80 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.0 ±0.00 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
