Inhabits ponds, dune lakes and creeks, usually among aquatic weeds (Ref. 6398). Lives in swamps with prolific sedge growth, gently flowing streams and dune lakes in areas of coastal heathland (wallum). Water is often darkly tannin-stained and acidic (pH 5.4-6.5) with temperature range from 12° to 28°C (Ref. 44894). Feeds primarily on aquatic insects and their larvae (Ref. 5259). Also consumes microcrustaceans and algae. Breeding season extends from October to May, when water temperatures rise above 20°C. The breeding habits and biology are similar to other nannopercids, but this species takes only 4-5 months to attain sexual maturity (Ref. 44894). Aquarium conditions: pH=7.2, H=8, 26°C water temperature, egg layer, plant and rock cover, peaceful community fish (Ref. 6398).
栖息于池塘，沙丘湖与小溪, 通常在水生的杂草之中.(参考文献 6398) 在海岸 heathland(wallum) 的区域中和多产的菅茅成长, 逐渐流动的溪流与沙丘湖生活在沼泽。 水时常暗单宁酸-沾染与酸性的 (酸碱度 5.4-6.5) 具有从 12个 ° 到 28 °C 的温差.(参考文献 44894) 主要吃水生昆虫与他们的幼体。 (参考文献 5259) 也消费小型甲壳类动物与藻类。 繁殖季节从十月到延伸可以, 当水温上升上方 20个 ° C. 的时候 繁殖栖所生态与生物学特性是类似其他的 nannopercids, 但是這種花只有 4-5 個月達到性成熟.(參考文獻 44894) 養殖環境條件: 酸鹼度=7.2, H=8 26 °C 水溫，產卵魚，植物與岩石覆蓋, 溫和群居的魚.(參考文獻 6398)
