The pond was about 12 m in diameter with an average depth of only 30 cm and substratum comprising of soft mud covered with a layer of organic debris, mainly dead leaves. Other specimens were found in a small (2-5 m width), closed-canopy rainforest stream 1.3 km northwest from the type locality. Only Melanotaenia rubrivittata and Mogurnda wapoga were collected at both sites, although a few juvenile Glossolepis leggetti were obtained from the pond habitat. Also found in a small (about 1.5-2 m wide) rainforest stream that was also inhabited by Melanotaenia rubripinnis and Chilatherina alleni (Ref. 111039). Allen, G.R., P.J.
