Inhabits sheltered localities with a mud bottom. Some specimens were collected from more exposed areas with a hard substrate. Juveniles have been collected from exposed beaches (Ref. 4983). The gut content of the specimens which were examined consisted of insect remains (terrestrial insects & Ephemeroptera larvae) and fish remains of Engraulicypris argenteus (Ref. 558).
