The frog has been found in primary and secondary forest habitats in swamps and near slow-flowing streams. Observers have seen them perched on shrubs. The tadpoles swim in stagnant water. These frogs are territorial and feed mostly on invertebrates.[1]

The size of this frog is 30–37 mm (1.2–1.5 in) in males and 45–50 mm (1.8–2.0 in) in females.[3]

Scientists classify this frog as being at least concern of extinction because of its large range. However, that range is subject to deforestation associated with palm oil cultivation.[1]
