Comments: Inhabits muddy creeks draining mangrove samphire plains or freshwater floodplains, also artificial habitats such as water buffalo wallows and concrete drains.  Always seen near the coast in low-salinity environments (0-9% sea water).  Spawned in captivity.  About 30 eggs were laid, which took 9 days to hatch at 25°C.  After hatching the young were observed clinging to the walls of the aquarium, apparently feeding on algae (Ref. 44894).
