Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; brackish; benthopelagic. Tropical
Indo-Pacific: Lake Poelela and Maputo Bay in Mozambique (Ref.
4404
,
127963
), but not known from East Africa north of Mozambique, northern Indian Ocean, Red Sea and Persian/Arabian Gulf (Ref.
127963
). Also Sri Lanka (Ref.
4404
,
127963
) and elsewhere to east coast of India, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, New Guinea and Australia (Ref.
127963
). Invasive in Hawaii and continental United States (Ref.
127963
).

: 22 - 26. Diagnosis: A good diagnostic characteristic is a short diagonal line found just behind the eye (Ref.
44091
). Head without cirri; lower end of gill opening usually opposite 4th or 5th pectoral fin ray; sensory pores in infraorbital an interorbital canals mostly 8 and 3 respectively; lateral line tubes 1 to 4 (Ref.
559
).
Adults are found in mangrove swamps and river estuaries, but more often in freshwater lakes (Ref.
4404
,
58302
). Benthic (Ref.
58302
). The size and shape of the mouth, the presence of large canine teeth suggest that this fish is probably a predator on small aquatic animals (Ref.
44091
). Oviparous; eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref.
205
), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref.
94114
). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref.
94114
).
