Found in strong-flowing rocky stretches of larger perennial rivers (Ref.
52193
). It grazes algae and `aufwuchs' from rocks and firm surfaces including the backs of hippos, leaving characteristic tracks (Ref.
52193
). Migrates upstream in swollen rivers to breed (Ref.
7248
,
52193
). Can occur as either sail-fin or normal varieties (Ref.
4967
).
