Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 33.0 cm SL 雄魚/尚未辨別雌雄; (Ref. 4967)
背棘 (總數) : 15 - 17; 背的軟條 (總數) : 11 - 13; 臀棘: 3; 臀鰭軟條: 10 - 11; 脊椎骨: 30. Diagnosis: Typical tilapiine cichlid, relatively deep bodied, with rather a small head (Ref. 118638). Other distinguishing characters are: caudal fin free of scales except basally; vertebrae 30; scales in lateral line series 30-32; dorsal spines XV-XVII; soft rays usually 11-13; outer teeth bicuspid, in mature fishes occasionally with a few tricuspids; lower gill-rakers 20-22; interorbital region in adults 34.5-40.0% length of head (Ref. 2). Ripe males have a dark body and fins, almost black, with bright red/orange margins on the dorsal and caudal fins; vertical barring can be noticeable in freshly caught specimens; head region in ripe males has a bluish sheen; ripe males have yellow-orange tassels; females and subadult males plain silver/grey with 6-7 post-opercular vertical stripes and bluish snout present in freshly caught specimens (Ref. 118638).
尾鰭沒有鱗片除了基部地之外。 在 2 列中的在頰上的鱗片。 脊椎骨 30. 外部的齒二頭齒,偶然地具有一些三尖瓣。 繁殖期的雄性主要地黑色的有橘色的邊緣到背鰭與尾鰭鰭; 腹鰭黑色或淡黃色的與長的生殖流蘇橘黃色的; 在鰓蓋與吻上的彩虹色的大理石紋。
This species is found both in large lakes and small rivers (Ref. 4967, 118638). A maternal mouthbrooder (Ref. 118638). Males construct territories in shallow water; where there was ample space they were similar in structure and grouping to those of Oreochromis variabilis, each territory consisting of a central raised mating platform in the middle of a large circular depression (Ref. 2). It is a major component of the fisheries catch in Lake Rukwa and the Mtera Dam (Ref. 118638). Strong aquaculture potential given broad habitat requirements (Ref. 118638). IUCN conservation status is stated as vulnerable D2, declining population trend (Ref. 118638).
棲息於湖與河。 (參考文獻 4967) 雄性在淺水區中構造領土。 在哪裡有充足的空間, 每領土在大而圓形凹窪的中央中有了中央凸起的交配平臺.(參考文獻 2)

A maternal mouthbrooder (Ref. 118638). Males construct territories in shallow water; where there was ample space they were similar in structure and grouping to those of Oreochromis variabilis, each territory consisting of a central raised mating platform in the middle of a large circular depression; males occupy these territories at sunrise, when water temperature was 12°C and they left for deeper water in the late afternoon when the temperature rose to 25°C (Ref. 2). It exhibits pseudo-spawning and then true spawning follows (Ref. 2). 非洲: 在坦尚尼亞的魯誇湖。
