Migration
provided by Fishbase
Potamodromous. Migrating within streams, migratory in rivers, e.g. Saliminus, Moxostoma, Labeo. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.
Trophic Strategy
provided by Fishbase
Favors deep pools and runs of large tributaries and mainstreams as well as impounded waters. Omnivorous, feeding on algae and aquatic invertebrates such as insects, snails, and crabs. Large specimens also take frogs and small fish.
