Adults inhabit lakes, rivers, marshlands, canals and ponds where there is very little current. Omnivorous, feed on invertebrates (including insect larvae and adults) and plants. Although adults actively feed on macrophytes present in abundance in the environment, they are not an effective species for the biological clearing of weeds. Colorless or pale yellow eggs are found attached to vegetation in shallow water (Ref. 41678). Consumed fresh (Ref. 30578). Threatened due to the introduction of other species (Ref. 26100).
