Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
; eau douce benthopélagique; pH range: ? - 6.7; dH range: ? - 8; potamodrome (Ref. 51243). Tropical; 23°C - 25°C (Ref. 2060)
Africa: wide distribution area, known from the Sahelian as well as from coastal basins (Ref. 2940, 81282, 81639). Identification of collections from the upper Koto River drainage (Ubangi tributary, middle Congo River basin) in Central African Republic (Ref. 41414) needs confirmation.
