Found on the bottom and in midwater of the upper reaches of rivers and hill streams with fast-running and clear water and gravel substrate (Ref. 57453). Preferably forms schools and feeds mainly on aquatic insects, benthic invertebrates and algae adhering to the surface of the gravel and plant detritus (Ref. 57453). Reaches sexual maturity at approximately 10 cm SL and is a fractional spawner (Ref. 57453). Used as a food fish but eggs are poisonous which can lead to diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and dizziness (Ref. 57453).
