This new species was collected syntopically with <i>Aspidoras albater</i>, <i>Astyanax</i> sp., <i>Characidium stigmosum</i>, <i>Corumbataia veadeiros</i>, and <i>Trichomycterus</i>  sp.  Five specimens (UFRGS 11300, 25.1-27.1 mm SL) with stomach contents mainly composed by Diptera (pupae) and allochthonous insects, but also found were autochthonous insects and digested vegetal matter in a lesser amount (Ref. 84462).
