Habitat / home range : usually found in small headwater streams with fast water associated with rapids and a boulder stream floor, with or without aquatic vegetation. Shoals occur in pools of small, clear, silt-free, rocky streams; reported to breathe air and to climb over damp rocks and up the sides of waterfalls during migrations. Can tolerate living out of the water for a long time if conditions are damp .

Reproduction : matures after a year; breeds in spring and summer, larger females bear up to 600 eggs. Moves on to flooded grasslands and breeding appears to be correlated with the start and ending of the rainy season; possibly exhibits multiple spawning over a prolonged breeding season.
