Comments: Adults are found in rocky mid-hill streams with fast flowing water.  They adhere to the sides of submerged rock through sucking discs.  Occur usually in water 50-150 cm deep.  Carnivore.  Sudden, heavy rainfall with an accompanying drop in water temperature induces spawning, usually in a cavity excavated in sand in the shelter of a stone.  Eggs hatch in the event of another heavy rainfall.  Larvae are swept downriver to the sea, mature adults migrate upstream to spawning grounds.  Possibly amphidromous (Ref. 26364).
