P. interruptus is a benthopelagic species. It feeds on worms, small insects, crustaceans and plant matter (Mills and Vevers 1989). In a tank, after vigorous driving by the male, the female lays up to 300 eggs, sometimes more, which sink to the bottom. The eggs hatch after about 6 days (Mills and Vevers 1989).
