It feeds on small invertebrates like mosquito larvae and daphnia (Ref. 52193). A serial spawner, laying eggs which attach to vegetation (Ref. 52193). When food is abundant, breeding occurs daily over an extended period (year-round where conditions are suitable) (Ref. 7248, 52193). 6 cm max TL (Ref. 3788). Not a seasonal killifish.
