Etymology: Rubricatochromis: Name from rubricatus, Latin for red coloured, refers to the bright red colouration on body of most species when in dominance or broodcare; and chromis, a common ending for African cichlid fishes (Ref. 128620).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
; eau douce benthopélagique. Tropical; 22°C - 26°C (Ref. 2059)
Africa: Equatorial Guinea to Cabinda, including central regions of Gabon (Ref. 81260). Also in western Republic of Congo (Ref. 81260) and in the Congo River from Pool Malebo (=Stanley Pool) to its estuary (Ref. 43352). Also present in the Likouala and Likouala-aux-Herbes, upstream from Pool Malebo in the middle Congo River basin, in Republic of Congo (Ref. 43352).
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5644)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 13 - 15; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 10 - 12; Épines anales: 3; Rayons mous anaux: 7 - 9. Diagnosis: never with multiple series of distinct blotches or bars on flanks; iridophores often visible on head, but rarely present on body or unpaired fins; mid-lateral black spot always present, rounded and relatively large, sometimes bordered by a light zone around posterior and anterior edges (but not fully ocellated); sometimes small black spots and/or 7-9 narrow black bars on dorsum, sometimes reaching to mid-body; black spot on caudal peduncle normally absent, or if present, small and ovoid (Ref. 81260).
Pair-bonding, substrate brooder (Ref. 52307, 81260).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [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): 3.4 ±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 (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
