It probably feeds on insects, zooplankton, seeds, green algae and diatoms. Oviparous (Ref. 205). Breeds during summer when rivers are swollen after rain and lays adhesive eggs amongst vegetation. It is probable that it is preyed upon by larger fishes and birds like other species (see Ref. 7248 & 5214). Kambikambi, M.J., W.T. Kadye and A.
