Comments: Found in a swamp with clear black water, mud and litter bottom, covered with a large amount of emerging vegetation adjacent to a dense and isolated fragment of wetland forest.  Collected at a shallowsite (about 10 cm water depth above nearly 50 cm depth of submerged litter deposits) among the emerging vegetation.  Other fishes captured in the same swamp include species of <i>Cynopoecilus and <i>Gymnotus aff. pantherinus, both are potentially new species (Ref. 94748).
