    📚 Natural History
    Migration
    Amphidromous. Refers to fishes that regularly migrate between freshwater and the sea (in both directions), but not for the purpose of breeding, as in anadromous and catadromous species. Sub-division of diadromous. Migrations should be cyclical and predictable and cover more than 100 km.

    Trophic Strategy
    Inhabits coral reefs . Occurs in inshore waters of the continental shelf . Forms large demersal schools over soft bottom habitats at depths shallower than 50 m. Sometimes ascends into freshwater reaches; encountered in the freshwater tidal zone in the Mekong delta . Ostracods, gastropods and euphausiids are common prey but small fish are also taken.
