; المياه العذبة قاعية التغذية و المعيشة; pH range: 6.0 - 6.5; dH range: ? - 8. Tropical; 24°C - 30°C (Ref. 1672)
Africa: Sanaga (Cameroon) to Chiloango basin (Republic of the Congo); also in the Chad basin (Ref. 81639). Occurs southwards to the lower reaches of Angolan Atlantic coastal rivers, including the Cuanza (Ref. 120641), although reports from the Lucala and Bengo rivers are misidentifications according to Ref. 11970; may need verification. Widespread in the Congo River basin, from the lower Congo (Ref. 41591) to the middle Luapula (Ref. 45616). Report from the Aruwimi (Ref. 41590) questionable (Ref. 106290).
