Adults inhabit inshore areas near mangroves. Occur in lentic and lotic freshwater (Ref. 7300). Juveniles commonly found in the lower sections of creeks and may penetrate several kilometers into fresh water (Ref. 2847, 44894). Omnivore. Eggs are guarded and fanned by the male parent (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 26.4 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 344 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5312 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01660 (0.00638 - 0.04320), b=2.99 (2.76 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 4.0 ±0.67 se; based on food items.
Resilienza (Ref. 120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (27 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 116 [65, 207] mg/100g; Iron = 0.805 [0.471, 1.486] mg/100g; Protein = 17.9 [16.9, 18.9] %; Omega3 = 0.171 [0.084, 0.337] g/100g; Selenium = 33.6 [16.8, 70.3] μg/100g; VitaminA = 27.3 [9.0, 75.2] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.3 [0.9, 2.0] mg/100g (wet weight);
