Usually collected in areas where riparian vegetation cover was > 50% and included mature deciduous trees, screw pines, bamboo, ferns, tall grasses, <i>Alocasias</i> sp. and a variety of other herbaceous plants.  Substrate was composed mostly of small to medium-sized rocks (1-13 cm).  Stomach contents of a 4.5 cm SL female consisted of chironomid larvae (Diptera) and a mayfly (Ephemeroptera).  The following physico-chemical parameters were recorded in the sampling sites:  7.0 average pH;  8.2 to 8.5 mg/l oxygen; 0 mg/l ammonia; 3.1-9.8 mg/l silica; approximately 10-13 mg/l (pH 4.5) alkalinity; 15 to 48 cm/s velocity; 430 m asl average elevation; 4.8-7.2 m stream width; and 18 to 40 cm depth.  Sympatric in the Mae Khlong basin with <i>Schistura aurantica</i> (Ref. 93080).
