Adults inhabit shallow, quiet margins of lakes, ponds and sluggish streams, usually over sand or mud and often near vegetation. They enter brackish water. They form schools a few inches below surface of water (Ref. 5723, 86798). Euryhaline and salinity-tolerant (Ref. 5951). Food consists of small crustaceans, mollusks and worms (Ref. 93252). Not a seasonal killifish. Is easy to maintain in the aquarium (Ref. 27139).
