Prefers high veldt rapids but is absent from the coldest streams (Ref. 1440). Found more often in large permanent pools of seasonal rivers (Ref. 1440) and prefers deep pools, but will enter rapids (Ref. 52193). It grazes algae and `aufwuchs' from firm surfaces (Ref. 52193). Migrates upstream in rain-swollen rivers to breed (Ref. 7248, 52193).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Moderate vulnerability (36 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
