Stenotopic, occurring exclusively on mud bottoms; sublittoral habitat ranging from 5 m to more than 40 m depth; habitat flat or of negligible gradient; digs holes which serve as refuges from predators, breeding sites and form central parts of territories; territory size varies between 1 and 3 m²; found to use shells of the gastropod N. tanganyicense as refuges and breeding sites instead of holes; monogamous; fish community at Mpulungu dominated by this species (Ref. 42182).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.

Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
