Comments: Occurs in swamps, wetlands, shallow lakes, billabongs, small creeks and artificial earthen
  drains at low elevation (mean 100 m above sea level, typically 22-176 m above sea level).  Inhabits mostly shallow areas (mean maximum depth 1.1 m, typically 0.5-2.0 m), with still to low water velocities (or often backwaters in faster flowing conditions) and partial shading (mean 27 %, typically 5-50 % surface cover).  Occasionally found in inland with slightly saline waters.  Water quality measurements at the time of collection indicate this species can thrive in a broad range of conditions:  water temperatures 5.2-26.9 °C; dissolved oxygen levels of 20-263 % saturation; pH of 5.3-9.3; water electrical conductivity of 94-13,620 μS/cm and turbidity of 1-96 NTU .  Usually  collected together with other native fish species, particularly <i>Nannoperca australis (65 % frequency), <i>Galaxias maculatus (12 % frequency), and burrowing crayfish (e.g. <i>Engaeus spp., <i>Geocharax spp.) (18 % frequency).  Often found with introduced fish species <i>Gambusia holbrooki (Ref. 104902).
