    Trophic Strategy
    Inhabits more turbid and estuarine situations than does Hyporhamphus dussumieri and is not found in oceanic islands . May enter rivers . Found in medium to large-sized rivers of the lower Mekong ; also inhabits coral reefs . Occurs in schools . Showed an ontogenetic trophic shift the smallest individuals are carnivores that pass through a brief period as omnivores before achieving the adult trophic habit of herbivory .
