Inhabits swamps and quiet backwaters of streams with mud or gravel bottoms and abundant vegetation including water lilies. Usually found in waters exposed to full sunlight (Ref. 2847, 44894). Occurs in marshy ponds (billabongs), overflow pools of rivers and creeks (Ref. 44894) Occurs at temperatures ranging from 25°-35° C. Possibly more widespread, but has escaped detection due to its small size and inconspicuous appearance (Ref. 44894).
