The area of collection is around 800 m above sea level. The streams have transparent water; bottom with rocks, stones, and some stretches with sand; collected syntopically with Aspidoras albater, Astyanax sp., Characidium stigmosum, Corumbataia veadeiros, Hemigrammus tocantinsi, and Trichomycterus sp. Stomach contents (UFRGS 11194, 3:24.4-27.3 mm SL) were mainly composed by Hymenoptera, Coleoptera (adults) and some fish scales, but autochthonous insects and digested vegetal organic matter (seeds) were also found (Ref. 86678).
