Biologie     Glossaire (ex. epibenthic)

Inhabits streams and lakes, often forming large schools at the surface. Temperatures in their environments range from 20 to 29 °C and pH from 5.3 to 8.5 and the water varies from clear to turbid (Ref. 7298).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larves

Females attach their eggs to aquatic vegetation and other submerged materials, e.g. Melaleuca sp. roots found in banks and margins of rivers (Ref. 35356). Distinct pairing (Ref. 205).
