; المياه العذبة قاعية التغذية و المعيشة, usually 1 - 3 m (Ref. 35835). Tropical
Africa: Lake Tana, Ethiopia (Ref. 35835, 128753). Also Didessa River in Ethiopia, but occurrences outside Lake Tana would suggest dispersion (Ref. 35835).

Occurs over muddy, sandy and rocky substrates all over the lake, preferably in water of no more than 3 m depth. Is a real macrophytivore: specimens smaller than 15 cm feed mainly on zooplankton and insect larvae; macrophytes increase in importance with size and finally make up most of the diet (Ref. 35835).
