Comments: The species was collected from a six-meter-deep homestead well that is used for drinking and irrigation purposes, as well as from a channel (<0.4m depth) connecting a pond to an adjacent paddy field located ca. 200 m away from the well; the pond with laterite rock walls had a substrate with a mix of sand and clay and covered with decayed leaves. Individuals with eggs were collected from the channel with reduced water flow. Species also occurring in the channel and paddy field included <i>Pseudosphromenus cupanus, Channa striata, Rasbora dandia</i>, and <i>Aplocheilus lineatus</i> (Ref. 121819).
