Remark: Needs a taxonomic reference.
Comments: Adults inhabit spring-fed streams and ponds, with temperature rarely rising above 20° C and dense vegetation.  Feed on small aquatic invertebrates and fish larvae.  Spawn in May-June.  Males build a nest and guard the eggs until hatching.  Threatened due to habitat alteration and water abstraction.  Attain a maximum size up to about 4.5 cm SL (Ref. 59043).
