Habitat and conservation

This species is known from streams in evergreen forests at elevations of 1,500–2,000 m (4,900–6,600 ft) above sea level. It is currently listed as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN). This is due to agriculture and aquaculture within their habitats, and biological resource use.[1]
