Comments: Lives in a variety of conditions ranging from clear, fast-flowing streams to muddy waterholes.  Inhabits slow-flowing creeks.  Juveniles common in estuaries (Ref. 44894).  Most common at low altitude close to the coast.  Spawns mainly in late summer and autumn at temperature near 21°C.  Feeds on insects, crustaceans and fishes.  The newly hatched larvae are apparently swept downstream, as juveniles are commonly found in estuaries (Ref. 44894).
