Comments: Found in deep, large stream with clear water, and sand to rock bottom (Ref. 59043).  Oviparous, possibly with distinct pairing during breeding similar to congeners (Ref. 205). Spawns in April-June. Mainly distinguished by mtDNA characters and difficult to distinguish from <i>C. paludica</i> in the field (Ref. 59043).  Population is threatened due to very restricted area of occurrence, agricultural water pollution, drought and introduced predators (Ref. 59043).
