It lives in the lower Rio Negro basin, part of the Amazon River system, where it occupies a benthopelagic freshwater habitat in warm tropical water. FishBase gives a maximum length of about 4.9 cm standard length for males and about 5.0 cm for females, with a published maximum weight near 2.3 g, which makes it one of the smaller members of its genus.
