Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 6398)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 14 - 15; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 9 - 10. Diagnosis: relatively robust, body depth 29.5-35.4% of standard length; mouth large, upper jaw (28.5-35.2% HL); lateral line system on head not notably enlarged; coloration dominated by a continuous mid-lateral band running from opercle to mid-level of caudal peduncle; microbranchiospines present on outer faces of second through fourth gill arches (Ref. 81260).
Seems to prefer the more open regions of the lake; vagabonding, fast-swimming species; ovophilic, maternal mouthbrooder (Ref. 52307). Predatory; reported to kleptoparasitize the freshwater crab Potamon africanus (Ref. 81260). Prefers small fish, shrimp and insect larvae (Ref. 52307). Aquarium conditions: pH=9, H=25, 30°C water temperature, omnivore, egg layer, needs rocky cover and substratum, not easy to raise in tanks (Ref. 6398).
