Comments: Adults inhabit streams and rivers (Ref. 1479).  Found over gravel and stony bottom of mountain streams (Ref. 51717). Observation reports this species in a variety of microhabitats in a headwater stream in the Ganges River basin, with stronger preference for pools. Spawning in a Himalayan population reported to occur from July to September, possibly triggered by high turbidity and stream velocities from seasonal rains. Food consists of macrophytes, algae, and diatoms (Ref. 127037).
