It occurs in coastal rivers and streams (Ref. 4127) where it can be found in quiet water amongst vegetation (Ref. 30558, 52193) or in the vicinity of logs at river edges (Ref. 30558). It is ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). During mating the female passes eggs to the male and the eggs become fertilized as they pass into the pouch of the male (Ref. 30558). The male brood the eggs and larvae in an abdominal pouch (Ref. 7248, Ref. 30558). After about three weeks the pouch opens and the male gives birth to fully formed young (Ref. 30558). The young begin to feed soon and may take refuge in the male pouch if necessary (Ref. 30558). It probably feeds on minute invertebrate organisms such as crustaceans and insects (Ref. 30558, 52193).
它出現於沿海的河川與溪流 (參考文獻 4127) 中在那裡它在植物 (參考文獻 30558) 之中的靜止水域中被發現於或在河邊緣在鄰近圓木.(參考文獻 30558) 它是卵胎生的.(參考文獻 205) 當他們獲准進入雄魚的小袋的時候，在交配母魚海峽卵到雄魚與卵的時候變成受精。 (參考文獻 30558) 雄魚孵卵而且仔魚在一個腹部的小袋。 (參考文獻 7248, 參考文獻 30558) 在大約三個星期之後小袋開放的與雄魚對完全形成的幼魚生產.(參考文獻 30558) 幼魚開始如果有需要的話很快覓食而且可能在雄魚小袋中佔據藏身處.(參考文獻 30558) 它可能吃細小的無脊椎的生物例如甲殼動物與昆蟲。 (參考文獻 30558)
