Comments: Found upstream the 12 m high Garapiá waterfall, in a stretch starting at an altitude of 409 meters above sea level.  This stream is characterized by crystal clear water, depths of up to 0.5 meter, width between 3 and 4 meters, strong current, and basaltic substrate composed of abundant rocks and pebbles.  This stream consists of riparian vegetation formed by dense ombrophilous forest, most considered to be secondary.  Most of the stream is covered by the canopy that blocks sunlight from directly reaching the water surface. Occurs syntopically with <i>Astyanax sp., <i>Pareiohaphis nudulus, <i>Rhamdia sp. and <i>Rineloricaria aequalicuspis.  The following parameters were recorded on 12 October 2013:  temperature 16.5°C, pH 7.6, conductivity 35.3 μS/cm, and Dissolved Oxygen 10.4 mg/l. (Ref. 105131).
