Comments: A rheophilic species which  dwells on limonite rocky bottom streamlet with pebbles and sand, and pools with muddy bottom and accumulated plant debris.  Crepuscular and nocturnal, it forages on the bottom and picks mostly benthic prey.  Feeds on immature aquatic insects (ephemeropterans, trichopterans, and plecopterans) with larger individuals preying on small tadpoles (Ref. 51380).
