Adults inhabit still or flowing water of clear or turbid streams. Particularly common in deep rocky pools (Ref.
44894
). They occur in lentic and lotic freshwater. Omnivore (Ref.
7300
). They consume invertebrates (especially prawns) and small fishes. Adults sometimes develop blubber lips, a condition found in several terapontids. Eggs are guarded and fanned by the male parent (Ref.
205
). A good angling and eating species growing to 1.5 kilograms (Ref.
44894
).

): 3.3 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.

): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
