Etymology: Gobiocichla: Latin, gobius = gudgeon + Greek, kichle = wrasse (Ref. 45335); wonderi: Named wonderi in honour of the collector Mr. Frank C. Wonder (Ref. 53780).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Οικολογία
; Γλυκού νερού βενθοπελαγικό. Tropical; 17°N - 10°N

Μέγεθος / Βάρος / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.2 cm SL αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Ref. 53781)
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 22 - 24; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 8 - 10; Εδρικές άκανθες: 2 - 4; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 8 - 10; Σπόνδυλοι: 33 - 35. Diagnosis: upper jaw moderately protrusible; groove between upper jaw and snout "normal" for Cichlidae, continuous around snout and moderately deep; snout tip not visible from below; body vertically oval in cross-section; squamation relatively only slightly reduced; Tilapia mark on soft dorsal present in juveniles and adults (Ref. 53766).
Rheophilic (Ref. 52307), occurs in swift waters (Ref. 7378, 53405) and rapids (Ref. 2756, 3012). Feeds mainly on algue attached to rocks (Ref. 2756, 53781). Probably a cave spawner that practices pair-bonding, albeit weakly (Ref. 52307). From aquarium observations: no assistance from male exhibited during guarding or cleaning of eggs and larvae; juveniles swim freely at about 3 weeks post-spawning and are guarded by both parents for about 1 month; male is not as strongly involved during brood care
as female (Ref. 52307).
