Ecologia
; acqua dolce demersale. Tropical; 3°N - 3°S
Africa: present in Lake Victoria and Victoria Nile near the Owen Falls dam (Ref. 4903, 26960). Possibly also in Lake Kioga (Ref. 78218).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.5 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 4903)
Occurs among stones and shingle over the river bed (Ref. 4903, 104773), and in similar places on wave-washed rocky shores of the lake (Ref. 4903, 104734). Preference for rocky or stony substrates, where they hide among the rocks (Ref. 78218). Feeds mainly on lithophilic insects (Ref. 12526, 104773), plants and Copepoda (Ref. 12526), but shows great adaptability in diet (Ref. 12526). Nothing is known about spawning and reproduction (Ref. 78218).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00333 - 0.01648), b=2.97 (2.78 - 3.16), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
