Comments: Inhabits clear, rocky pools with moderate flow.  Small groups are seen hovering in midwater adjacent to rocky crevices and submerged tree branches (Ref. 5259).  Occurs in streams, typically occurring over a mixed substrate of aquatic plants and large sandstone boulders.  Solitary in habit, but sometimes forms small groups (Ref. 44894).  Sexual dimorphism not as pronounced as in other <i>Hypseleotris</i> species.  Caudal fin is truncate in females and rounded in males, males usually darker colored (Ref. 2906, 44894).
