Ecologie
; zoet water benthopelagisch. Tropical; 24°C - 26°C (Ref. 12468)
Africa: occurs in small coastal rivers in Benin and southern Nigeria (Ref. 2940, 81282, 81639), also known from Cameroon (Ref. 81282, 81639) and Equatorial Guinea (Ref. 81639).

Max length : 1.8 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 2940)
Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 8; Anale zachte stralen: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: single 8-shaped nostril on either side of head; absence of barbels, suborbital bones and lateral line; dorsal fin with 6 branched rays and well in front of anal fin (Ref. 81282, 81639).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Distinguished from small Barbus in sight by absence of barbels, absence of lateral line and 1 single nostril in form of 8 at each side of snout (Ref. 81282, 81639). Occurs throughout the lower forested coastal lowlands in small slow flowing rivers under forest cover (Ref. 2801).
