Kurzbeschreibung
Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 9-10; Afterflossenstacheln 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 16 - 19; Wirbelzahl: 38 - 39. Diagnosis: Operculum shiny only on ventral posterior edge and small area at posterior edge of orbit, not entire area; body midline black, not silver; head with tubercles along lower jaw and lower head in breeding males; snout rounded, not pointed; iris white to light grey, not dark grey, with a few melanophores; pelvic fin melanophores present, dark and widely dispersed (Ref. 116496).
This species is found in ecological conditions very similar to those characteristic of Engraulicypris gariepinus; it favours big rivers, gathering in slack, turbid and shallow regions with sandy, rocky or muddy substrates; in Lake Chiuta specimens were caught in reed beds along the margins (Ref. 116496).
