Found in standing and running waters; clear streams, canals, beels, ponds, and inundated paddy fields. Abundant during rainy season (Ref. 1479). This species could effectively be used in the control of guinea worms and also for malarial control. These small, bony, fleshy fishes are sold in heaps along with other small fishes in the market. Popular for aquarium purposes (Ref. 44325).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1.0000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00801 - 0.01571), b=2.92 (2.83 - 3.01), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.54 se; based on food items.

Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Low.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 208 [89, 728] mg/100g; Iron = 1.65 [0.77, 3.24] mg/100g; Protein = 18 [16, 19] %; Omega3 = 0.168 [0.073, 0.382] g/100g; Selenium = 21.6 [9.6, 53.1] μg/100g; VitaminA = 77.9 [23.9, 238.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.85 [1.16, 3.06] mg/100g (wet weight); based on nutrient studies.
