Taille / Poids / Âge

Maturity: L_m ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 12468)

Shell-brooding cichlid found in low-density shell areas; greedy eater, feeding mainly on insect larvae (Ref. 46829). Lives on sandy bottom with snail shells wich are burried in the sand and used as shelter and for depositing the eggs (Ref. 52467). Found between 5 m and 40 m deep (Ref. 93961).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Reproduction | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larves

Eggs are deposited in the snail shell that is inhabited by the female. The female guards and ventilates the eggs. Larve emerge after about 10 days and wander between the shells of their parents (Ref. 52467).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 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).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (tm<1).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
