Ecologia
; Água doce bentopelágico, usually 19 - 25 m (Ref. 57549). Tropical; 12°S - 15°S
Africa: Endemic to Lake Malawi. Occurs on the southern half of the lake (Mbenji Islands Nakatenga and Maleri Islands, Nkhomo Reef near Benga and Eccles Reef south of Makanjila, on the eastern coast).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.6 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4979)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 15 - 18; Raios dorsais (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 3 lateral spots on the body; supra-pectoral spot about 1.5 times the supra-anal spot; supra-pectoral spot separate from upper lateral line; supra-anal spot smaller than 2 scales; males in breeding coloration with blue breast, narrow yellow marginal band in anal fin and without spots or streaks in the anal fin (Ref. 57549).
Inhabits the sand/rock interface; territorial males defend their bower with a bowl in front of a spawning cave that spans about half a circle or less, about 19-33cm in diameter; females gather in small groups or are solitary, and feed from the plankton and benthic invertebrates near the bottom (Ref. 57549). Aquarium trade names: 'Haplochromis chrysonotus mbenji', 'Haplochromis chrysonotus maleri' (Ref. 5595).
