Comments: Inhabits cool, clear streams with riparian vegetation and a steep gradient; mainly of stones, bedrock, some sand, boulders and gravels substrates; and the water volume is apparently much higher during the rainy season. Occurs together with <i>Rasbora daniconius</i>, <i>Devario aequipinnatus</i> and <i>Garra mullya</i> (Ref. 122022).
