экология
; пресноводный; солоноватоводный донно-пелагический. Tropical; 5°N - 10°S
Africa: Niger basin (Ref. 57223, 81251), Oshun, Osse, Cross (Ref. 57223), headwaters of the Chad basin (Ref. 57223, 81251), and almost every river basin in Cameroon except the Ndian and Nyong; absent west of the Niger (Ref. 81251). Probably absent from the Congo basin where C. micropogon is found (see Ref. 87986).
Size / Вес / Возраст
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.0 cm SL самец/пол неопределен; (Ref. 57223)
колючие лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 1; членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 5 - 6; колючие лучи анального плавника: 0; позвонки: 30 - 33. Diagnosis: labial disk/sucker rather large (Ref. 57223, 81251), round or longer than broad rather than transversely oval (Ref. 81251). Mandibular barbels reduced; mandibular teeth numbering at most 6+6, often 5+5, and occasionally 4+4 (Ref. 57223, 81251). Adipose fin high (Ref. 81251), rounded posteriorly, beginning slightly ahead of anal-fin origin (Ref. 57223, 81251). Caudal fin deeply forked; eyes rather large; very pronounced sexual dimorphism: males (even in premature stages) with enlarged caudal fin, in particular the upper lobe which also becomes more pointed or even filamentous; males also have a large and rounded humeral process (Ref. 57223, 81251).
Coloration: live specimens: diffuse dark vertical bars (that may even form a marbled pattern) delimiting better defined paler (yellowish or olivaceous) areas; dark vertical bars also present at bases of pectoral and caudal fin bases, but caudal-fin lobes pale yellow; finally, anal fin marked with dark spots, but these are less distinct than those in C. disneyi collected at the same locality (Ref. 57223, 81251).
Oviparous (Ref. 205). Maximum total length 47 mm (Ref. 3202).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
устойчивость к внешним воздействиям (Ref.
120179): высокий, минимальное время удвоения популяции до 15 месяцев (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
