Comments: Found in slow moving stream (water current 0.16 m/s) with a bottom substrate dominated by sand, occasionally associated with mud.  Usually occurs under submerged logs and bamboo. The dominant macrophyte in the stream is water hyacinth.  The following chemical parameters of the stream were recorded:  DO 6.75 mg/l, DCO2 1.53 mg/l, alkalinity 66.06 mg/l, and hardness 71.8 ± 3.05 mg/l.  The physical parameters of the stream were pH 6.78, air temperature 23.8 ±0.87°C, water temperature 23.5 ±0.96°C, transparency 79.5 ±1.93 cm, and conductivity 173.33 μS. (Ref. 118109).
