Ecology of Schistura papulifera
 
Main Ref. Kottelat, M., D.R. Harries and G.S. Proudlove, 2007
Remarks Schistura papulifera is typically found in such pools of standing water, rather than in flowing streamways and appears to be most abundant in areas where the pools are both deep and extensive. It apparently retreats to such areas as the onset of the dry season, and the larger pools offer the best resources in terms of food and relatively stable oxygen levels. The fish were observed in a still gour (rimstone) pool with sandy bottom, 1.5 x 7 m, 1 m deep. In February, the passage carries no water, but would do so in the wet season, May -October. Up to 20 individuals were observed on each of five trips to the area. The fish exhibited no response to light, but were disturbed by movements of the water (Ref. 57820).
