The Flagtail Kuhlia caudavittata is very tolerant of fluctuations in water salinity, being at home in both marine and brackish water or freshwater (rivers).In addition, this species can also be found in tide pools.

During the day, they usually school, dispersing at night to feed on free-swimming fish and crustaceans.
