Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Benthic; freshwater; depth range 0 - 1 m (Ref. 80447). Tropical

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 3.1 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 80447)
Maximum length based on type materials from Ref. 80447; to be replaced with a better reference. Found in well-shaded forest streams above tidal influence with sand and muddy substrates at 0.4 to 1 m depth. Prefers to build burrows along sheltered stream bottoms (Ref. 80447).
