Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Prefers high veldt rapids but is absent from the coldest streams (Ref. 1440). Found more often in large permanent pools of seasonal rivers (Ref. 1440) and prefers deep pools, but will enter rapids (Ref. 52193). It grazes algae and `aufwuchs' from firm surfaces (Ref. 52193). Migrates upstream in rain-swollen rivers to breed (Ref. 7248, 52193).
