Comments: Calm and timid.  Typical species of wooded rivers where the current is slow and the bottom is covered with dead leaves.  Sexual differentiation is possible at the age of two months (Ref. 27188).  Not a seasonal killifish (Ref. 27139).  Difficult to breed in the aquarium.  Eggs measure 1.6 mm in diameter (Ref. 35237).
