It is found in schools mainly in the shallow and vegetated part of small rivers, brooks and swamps, and in the shallow parts of lakes (Ref. 47311). Uncommon in floodplains (Ref. 52193). It feeds on insect larvae, daphnia and other small invertebrates (Ref. 52193). Typical serial spawner, laying eggs on vegetation (Ref. 52193). Useful as a mosquito control agent (Ref. 7248).
