Anadromous species; ascending both large rivers and streams during floods and spawning in floodwater pools or inundated grasses at margins of rivers (Ref. 105018). Upstream migration at beginning of rains (Ref. 36900) in fairly compact shoals (Ref. 52083). Permanent river populations exist (Ref. 52083). Lake Victoria: in shallow, inshore waters and influent rivers (Ref. 34291). Lake Kyoga: in open waters away from water-lily zone (Ref. 4903). Specialized feeder on epilithic and epiphytic algae (Ref. 12526). Also feeds on rotifers growing on the body of other fishes (Ref. 34291). Caught with weirs and in baskets (Ref. 4967).
