It is most common over fine sand and muddy substrate with scattered boulders which provide the species some hiding places, and also over bare rock, gravel and among aquatic plants. Apparently, a substrate feeder as indicated by its inferior mouth and the large papillose mental disc. Stomach contents consist mainly on unicellular algae, filamentous algae, fragments of Rotatoria, Nematoda and crustaceans, as well as large amounts of inorganic matter like sand grains (Ref. 46647).
