Ecologia
; acqua dolce demersale. Tropical; 3°N - 2°N
Africa: River Ntem in Cameroon (Ref. 50834, 51193, 78218, 81642), Rio Bono (Rio Bonito drainage) in Equatorial Guinea (Ref. 78218) and the Kouilou-Niari in Republic of Congo (Ref. 92841). Reports from the Dja River (middle Congo River basin)(Ref. 51193) unconfirmed.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 29.2 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 81642)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 2. Diagnosis: caudal peduncle relatively long, its depth slightly larger than the horizontal distance between the adipose and caudal fin bases (never twice as large); anterior edge of pectoral spine smooth, except for a few serrations distally; preorbital head length greater than maximum head depth (measured to end of supraoccipital process), lending the snout an elongate appearance; interorbital distance 22-25% HL; orbital diameter maximally 2 times in interorbital distance; numerous small spots on body and fins; spots on head usually smaller than those on flanks (Ref. 81642).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5020 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00525 (0.00218 - 0.01265), b=3.09 (2.88 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Medio, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione 1.4 - 4.4 anni (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (26 of 100).
