It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the Guaporé River basin in Brazil. It was originally described by J. Knaack in 1961. It is named for the river in which it is native.

The fish will grow in length up to 1.6 inches (4.1 centimeters). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0 - 8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2 - 25 dGH, and a temperature range of 70 - 75 °F (21 - 24 °C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs.
