экология
; пресноводный пелагический; пределы глубины 12 - 25 m (Ref. 42940). Tropical
Africa: Endemic to Lake Malawi, occurring along the rocky shores of Nankumba Peninsula and along those shores between the Masinje River and Gome Village.
Size / Вес / Возраст
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.3 cm SL самец/пол неопределен; (Ref. 42940)
колючие лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 14 - 17; членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 10 - 12; колючие лучи анального плавника: 0; членистые (мягкие) лучи анального плавника: 8 - 10. Diagnosis: 3 lateral spots on the body (Ref. 57549). Supra-pectoral spot about 1-1.5 times the supra-anal spot (Ref. 57549) and overlapping upper lateral line (Ref. 42940). Supra-anal spot present (Ref. 42940, 57549). Spots in the rayed portion of dorsal fin yellow; anal fin black (Ref. 42940). Breeding males with wide yellow marginal band in anal fin (Ref. 42940, 57549), blue breast and a narrow black submarginal band in the dorsal fin (Ref. 57549). Caudal fin membrane yellow, in breeding males with broad bands; pectoral fin completely black; dorsal fin base length 56.3-62.45% SL; 14-20 gill rakers on the ceratobranchial (Ref. 42940).
Inhabits the sand/rock interface; territorial males construct bowers on sand slopes near rocky areas with distances between bowers approximately 2-7m; females gather in large schools, sometimes numbering more than a hundred individuals; foraging schools are about 2-3m off the bottom and feed on plankton in the water column and on benthic invertebrates; mouthbrooding females are found close to the bottom (Ref. 57549).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturities | размножение | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | личинки
Builds bowers on a sand slope near rocky area at depth of 16-25 m. Bowers are circular or oval in shape with slight depression on the center and a surrounding sand mound. These contain a stone usually at the deeper margin of the sand mound. The depression is usually deepest near the stone and spawning takes place at this deepest part.
