Where to find Tete

Water type

freshwater

Depth

Found in subterranean groundwater systems, including phreatic zones, caves, and wells. Depths can vary from shallow groundwater to deeper aquifers.

Environment

Hypogean (subterranean) environments, specifically phreatic habitats (groundwater-filled interstitial spaces in sediments or rock fissures). These environments are characterized by perpetual darkness, stable temperatures, and often low nutrient availability.

Geographic range

Known primarily from the Amazon Basin in South America, specifically reported from subterranean waters in Brazil (e.g., Marajó Island, Pará state) and potentially other parts of the Amazonian lowlands where suitable groundwater habitats exist.
