Rock-dweller (Ref. 6770). Occurs in the intermediate habitat (Ref. 46829). Caught at depths between 1 and 10 m; average depth is 5.15 m (Ref. 53528). Feeds mostly from the sandy substrate in areas characterized by small rock and pebbles (Ref. 46829). Its prey consists of invertebrates that live in the sand (Ref. 52921). Eats insect larvae and crustaceans (Ref. 46829), but also feeds on snails (Ref. 6770, 7343, 46829). Has strong teeth on the lower pharyngeal bone, typical of a snail-crushing cichlid (Ref. 52921).
