Amolops torrentis live in medium- to large-sized streams (where they also breed) and in the surrounding riparian habitats. It is threatened by habitat loss, particularly due to agricultural activities.
Amolops torrentis are relatively small frogs: males grow to a snout–vent length of about 30 mm (1.2 in) and females to about 37 mm (1.5 in). Tadpoles are up to 35 mm (1.4 in) in length.
