In springs and widyan in the southern Dead Sea area. Occurs in small, fast-running water courses among gravel, where it feeds almost entirely on algae (Ref. 13609). Reproductive period is probably in late spring and early summer. Spawns in groups; eggs and sperm are released into open water, and eggs sink quickly to the ground.
