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).
