Língua:

Ref. principal	Pethiyagoda, R., 1991
Notas	Occurs mainly in swamps and similar still, often turbid waters (e.g. irrigation ditches). Forms loose schools of about ten individuals of approximately the same size. Enters brackish water. Can survive temperatures up to 39.8°C (Ref. 7256). An omnivore with nocturnal feeding habits. Very easily maintained in captivity. Sympatric with H. fossilis which is more abundant in the type locality. Best method of catch is dewatering of small water holes during drought period.
