Lives in box-cut canals with rocky vertical sides, crevices used for spawning and protection of the young. Found in lakes; uncommon in the rivers but will penetrate the lower river valleys where the water is slow flowing or tranquil. Omnivorous, eating mostly aufwuchs, snails and small fishes; also feeds on insect larvae, worms and other bottom-dwelling organisms. Majority of this fish has normal cryptic coloration (black, gray or brown), matching the substrate for camouflage and survival purposes. About 10 % of this species is xanthomorphic, undergoing a color metamorphosis at varying stages of growth. An experimental fish being used for behavioral studies.
