Gastrotheca albolineata is a canopy dweller in primary and old secondary rainforests. It requires big trees as its habitat. Females carry the eggs on their back, and eggs develop directly to froglets.^[1]

It is a common species but difficult to observe. It is not considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), but deforestation and agricultural encroachment are localized threats.^[1]
