Tropical; 22°C - 26°C (Ref. 2060 ); 8°N - 7°N Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Asia: known to be endemic to Sri Lanka (Ref. 6028 ), but recorded from India (Ref. 4833 , 43640 ). Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 15.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 6028 ) Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274 ); Adults occur mainly in swamps and similar still, often turbid waters (e.g. irrigation ditches). Form loose schools of about ten individuals of approximately the same size. Enter brackish water. Can survive temperatures up to 39.8°C (Ref. 7256 ). An omnivore with nocturnal feeding habits. Oviparous, distinct pairing possibly like other members of the same family (Ref. 205 ). Very easily maintained in captivity. Sympatric with H. fossilis which is more abundant in the type locality. Best method of catch is dewatering of small water holes during drought period. Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae Eggs of about 2 mm diameter are laid in lumps in a gravel nest. The parents guard the eggs and the youngs. Main reference Upload your references | References | Coordinator | Collaborators Pethiyagoda, R. , 1991. Freshwater fishes of Sri Lanka.
