背棘 (总数) : 2; 背的软条 (总数) : 4 - 5; 臀棘: 0; 臀鳍软条: 9 - 12; 脊椎骨: 36 - 38. Diagnosis: This species is generally more pallid and less conspicuously marked than other species of Zaireichthys (Ref. 86935). It differs from Zaireichthys conspicuus, Z. kunenensis, Z. lacustris and Z. maravensis in possessing a narrow premaxillary tooth patch, less than 40% of the mouth width; from Z. monomotapa by the smaller number of rays in the dorsal fin, 4-5 soft rays vs. 5-6), pectoral fins, 5-7 vs. 7-8, and caudal fin, 9-13 vs. 14-16; from Z. kavangoensis in colour pattern (Ref. 86935).
Found in shallow water with a sandy bottom (Ref. 94654). It feeds on small invertebrates, including mayfly nymphs and caddis fly larvae (Ref. 94654).
