It is originating in the south of the Brésil where one finds it in a wild state. It is endemic rivers of the Rio São Francisco and Rio Purus. He lives in benches in not very deep water. In this medium, the physicochemical composition of water varies much according to the seasons. During the rain season, water muddy and is acidifée because of the streaming and the storms.
