; zoet water benthopelagisch. Tropical
Africa: endemic to Lake Bermin, Cameroon (Ref. 52307, 81260).
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 81260)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 15 - 16; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 10; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: lower pharyngeal jaw robust, with a large, non-heart-shaped dentigerous plate, covered with stout, sparsely arrayed teeth; oral dentition coarse (Ref. 81260). 10-15 (Ref. 26738) stout bicuspids oral teeth in outer row (Ref. 26738, 81260). Anterior rakers not markedly reduced in size; snout small and projecting (Ref. 81260). Lips hypertrophied; ventral margin of lower lip folded and fringed (Ref. 26738, 81260). Breeding coloration: base body color pale yellow on dorsum and bright reddish-pink along venter and snout, cheek, chin, chest and operculum a brighter red(Ref. 26738).
Clearly prefers plant material, but also accepts detritus, sponges and phytoplankton (Ref. 52307). Pair-bonding (Ref. 52307), open (Ref. 52307) substrate brooder/spawner (Ref. 52307, 81260). Prefers to spawn in pits or shallow cavities in submerged wood; clusters of eggs fairly small in size, containing about 30 eggs; female usually guards the eggs while the male defends the territory (Ref. 52307).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref.

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
