Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Introductions

Inhabits small irrigation canals and slowly flowing and stagnant waters with dense vegetation (Ref. 26183). Territorial in shallow pools and swamps. Feeds on larger crustacean plankton and invertebrate larvae (Ref. 26183). This species is under threat due to habitat destruction, irrigation works and disappearance of shallow ditches as suitable habitats, restrictions of river inundation, pressure from introduced fish species and chemical pollution (Ref. 26183).
