Reported to feed on copepods, isopods, and amphipods but larger individuals prey upon small crayfish. Spawning probably takes place during high water levels from February through April. Females incubate eggs in their branchial cavities until hatching and continue to care for fry until yolk reserves are depleted 4-5 months later. Likely attains sexual maturity in 3-4 years (Ref. 96073). Chakrabarty, P., J.A. Prejean and M.L.
