It is very aggressive towards other fishes, particularly in captivity.[3] These fish feed on gastropods and crustaceans.[3] This species has the largest egg size (3–4 millimetres or .12–.16–in) and the lowest fecundity(about 1000 eggs per spawning) per unit length of any plotosid catfish in Australia.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite journal|url=http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/library/biblios/2007_Ferraris_Catfish_Checklist.pdf|title=Checklist of catfishes, recent and fossil (Osteichthyes: Siluriformes), and catalogue of siluriform primary types|first=Carl J.
