Habitat is highly acidic tea-coloured water of between pH 3.5 to 3.7. Most common in well shaded shallow waters (less than 1 meter deep) or along the vegetated banks of deeper streams with usually slow water flow. Preferred substrate seems to be leaf litter or submerged detritus. Feeds on chironomid larvae, ostracods, mites and mayflies (Ref. 42706).

Found in a peat swamp forest (Ref. 84801), mostly in well shaded shallow waters (less than a meter deep) or along the vegetated banks of deeper streams. Occurs usually in slow flowing water. Preferred substrate appears to be leaf litter or submerged detritus. Builds a bubble nest, with the male aggressively chasing the female to below the nest (Ref. 13213) .
