Most specimens in streams were observed sheltering in submerged and marginal aquatic vegetation growing in sandy beds, and those in Mauritia palm swamps were collected from dense leaf litter banks and root mats. Sympatric and syntopic with Brachyhypopomus bullocki, B. brevirostris, and B. sullivani in the type locality region. Food items food in the stomach contents were aquatic insect larvae and other small aquatic invertebrates (Ref. 116763). Crampton, W.G.R., C.D. de Santana, J.C. Waddell and N.R.
