Africa: widespread in Central and East Africa (Ref. 7248, 52193, 94654), including Okavango and Zambezi systems, south to the Mkuze system in South Africa (Ref. 7248, 52193). Also in the upper Congo drainage and west to Angola (Ref. 87869). Possibly absent from the upper Little Ruaha and Malawi drainage in Tanzania, and from the northern Malagarasi where this species may be replaced by A. kivuensis (Ref. 78218).

Biologie     Verklarende woordenlijst (bv. epibenthic)

Prefers clear, flowing water in rocky habitats (Ref. 52193). It feeds on stream insects and other small organisms off rock surfaces (Ref. 52193). Breeds in summer; juveniles are easily mistaken for tadpoles (Ref. 52193). Preyed upon by trout and probably eels (Ref. 7248, 52193).

Estimates based on models

Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00173 - 0.01152), b=3.09 (2.87 - 3.31), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisch niveau (Ref. 69278):  2.9   ±0.30 se; based on food items.
Weerstandsvermogen (Ref. 120179):  Gemiddeld, minimale populatieverdubbelingstijd 1,4-4,4 jaar (Assuming Fec < 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Prijsklasse (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
