📚 Nomenclature and Classification
📚 Natural History
Life Cycle
Breed all year round . From Johnson (1932), "quot;a female never extrudes eggs during active courtship until the genital organ comes in contact with that of the male, whereupon a small stream of eggs is ejected"quot; . Violent dashing and chasing characterise courtship finally culminating in eggs being shed a few at a time, settling freely without adhering to the bottom surface .

Trophic Strategy
Inhabits streams, canals, ditches, ponds and beels . Occurs in slow-moving to stagnant standing water bodies, particularly rice-fields . Water highly transparent . Feeds on worms and small crustaceans ; also on insect larvae and can be used for mosquito control (Ref 6351).
