Etymology: Chromidotilapia: Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch + Bechuana, African native thiape = fish (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecología
; agua dulce demersal. Tropical; 24°C - 28°C (Ref. 12468); 7°N - 6°N
Africa: endemic to the upper and middle Cavally River in Côte d'Ivoire (Ref. 53405).
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.7 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 59154)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 13 - 16; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8 - 11; Espinas anales: 3; Radios blandos anales: 6 - 7. Diagnosis: body depth 29.3-31.6% of standard length; interorbital space 17.6-19.0% of head length; 16 dorsal-fin spines; 28 or 29 lateral-line scales (Ref. 53405).
Ovophilic, paternal mouthbrooder (Ref. 12468, 52307). Both parents can take care of the young after hatching (Ref. 12468), but pair-bonding seems relatively weak (Ref. 52307). Maximum TL recorded is 8.65 cm (Ref. 5657).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5005 [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).
Nivel trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliencia (Ref.
120179): Alto, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo inferior a 15 meses (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
