Etymology: Protomelas: Greek, protos = the first + Greek, melas, melanos = black (Ref. 45335).

Environment: milieu / climate zone / 深度上下限 / distribution range
生态学
; 淡水 底中水层性. 熱帶; 24°C - 26°C (Ref. 2059); 9°S - 15°S
Africa: Endemic to Lake Malawi where it is widely distributed.
非洲: 馬拉威湖的特有種在那裡它廣泛地被分佈。
大小 / 重量 / 年龄
成熟度: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.3 cm TL 雄鱼/尚未辨别雌雄; (Ref. 4996)
背棘 (总数) : 16 - 17; 背的软条 (总数) : 10 - 11; 臀棘: 3; 臀鳍软条: 9 - 10; 脊椎骨: 31. Resembles P. fenestratus in form and in ecology, but differs from it in having a larger eye and consequently narrower preorbital, in the more numerous teeth in the upper jaw and on the lower pharyngeal, the higher number of gill rakers, the anterior of which, although short, are acute and well defined and in the higher modal number of dorsal spines. Differs from P. virgatus in the absence of enlarged pharyngeal teeth.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
与 P. fenestratus 形式相似与在生态学, 但是在上颌中的众多齿与在下面的咽骨,较多的鳃耙上不同之处为一个较大的眼与结果比较狭窄的眶前骨前面者那一个, 虽然短, 是尖锐的而且很清晰与在比较高的型背棘数目中。 有别于 P. virgatus 在那缺乏增大的咽齿。
Inhabits shallow, rocky sediment-free habitat. Feeds on 'aufwuchs' attached to rocks, but also takes small invertebrates, including zooplankton when this is abundant (Ref. 267).
栖息于浅滩,岩石的无沉淀物栖息地。 吃被依附于岩石, 也捕食小型无脊椎动物的 '附着生物', 包括浮游动物当这很丰富的时候.(参考文献 267)

Parents practice co-operative care of young by grouping together and setting up protective stations close to one another; releasing their young and embarking upon parental care. Every protective mantle is very close to the next in such a way that young can move from one parent to the next. 非洲: 馬拉威湖的特有種在那裡它廣泛地被分佈。
