In Micropanchax in CofF (v, April 2020) following Skelton (2019: Ref. 120641). However no evidence is presented in the latter publication. More work is needed.

Ecologia
; Água doce bentopelágico; pH range: 6.5 - 7.2; não migratória. Tropical; 20°C - 26°C (Ref. 2059); 25°S - 29°S
Africa: small rivers, brooks and shallow parts of larger bodies of water, estuaries and lagoons in the warm coastal plains of Natal, South Africa, from the Pongola River and Kosi system southward to the Umlalazi River near Richards Bay (Ref. 47311, 52193). Also in Transvaal, South Africa (Ref. 27139). Reports from the Okavango swamps in Botswana and the Cuanza and Cuilo in Angola probably refer to other species (Ref. 47311).

Found in inshore vegetated areas of lakes and well-vegetated streams (Ref. 52193). It feeds on aquatic insects, such as mosquito larvae and algae (Ref. 52193). A serial spawner, laying eggs on vegetation (Ref. 52193). Potential mosquito control agent (Ref. 7248). Not a seasonal killifish. Is difficult to maintain in aquarium (Ref. 27139).
