Found in and around submerged debris and leaf litter, and in root mats and holes along the stream banks. Feeds on small aquatic invertebrates in the type locality. Occurs sympatrically and syntopically with Brachyhypopomus beebei, B. brevirostris, B. sullivani, B. verdii, and B. walteri. Spawns during the rainy season, approximately December-April, in the area of the type locality (Ref. 116763). Crampton, W.G.R., C.D. de Santana, J.C. Waddell and N.R.
