Краткое описание
определительные ключи | морфология | морфометрия
колючие лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 2; членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 6; колючие лучи анального плавника: 0; членистые (мягкие) лучи анального плавника: 9 - 11; позвонки: 34 - 35. Diagnosis: This species differs from Zaireichthys kafuensis, Z. kavangoensis, Z. monomotapa and Z. pallidus in having a premaxillary tooth patch with the buccal margin expanded laterally and from all other species in its more robust form and bold markings (Ref. 86935).
Found in the rapid sections of rivers; seems to inhabit rocky rapids rather than sandy bottoms (Ref. 86935, 94654). It feeds on insects (Ref. 86935).
