Adults inhabit still or flowing water of clear or turbid streams. Particularly common in deep rocky pools (Ref. 44894). They occur in lentic and lotic freshwater. Omnivore (Ref. 7300). They consume invertebrates (especially prawns) and small fishes. Adults sometimes develop blubber lips, a condition found in several terapontids.
