Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.2 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 53781)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 22 - 24; Raios dorsais (total) : 8 - 10; Espinhos anais: 2 - 4; Raios anais : 8 - 10; Vértebras: 33 - 35. Diagnosis: upper jaw moderately protrusible; groove between upper jaw and snout "normal" for Cichlidae, continuous around snout and moderately deep; snout tip not visible from below; body vertically oval in cross-section; squamation relatively only slightly reduced; Tilapia mark on soft dorsal present in juveniles and adults (Ref. 53766).
Rheophilic (Ref. 52307), occurs in swift waters (Ref. 7378, 53405) and rapids (Ref. 2756, 3012). Feeds mainly on algue attached to rocks (Ref. 2756, 53781). Probably a cave spawner that practices pair-bonding, albeit weakly (Ref. 52307). From aquarium observations: no assistance from male exhibited during guarding or cleaning of eggs and larvae; juveniles swim freely at about 3 weeks post-spawning and are guarded by both parents for about 1 month; male is not as strongly involved during brood care
as female (Ref. 52307).
