Comments: Found in a peat swamp forest (Ref. 84801), mostly in well shaded shallow waters (less than a meter deep) or along the vegetated banks of deeper streams.  Occurs usually in slow flowing water.  Preferred substrate appears to be leaf litter or submerged detritus.  Builds a bubble nest, with the male aggressively chasing the female to below the nest (Ref. 13213) .
