They are found in small, slow-flowing and shaded streams in the southwestern part of the island. They are essentially restricted to lowlands, although one introduced population occurs at an altitude of 980 m (3,220 ft). They are calm, social and attractively colored fish that sometimes are kept in aquariums.
