Predatory; reported to kleptoparasitize the freshwater crab Potamon africanus (Ref. 81260). Prefers small fish, shrimp and insect larvae (Ref. 52307). Aquarium conditions: pH=9, H=25, 30°C water temperature, omnivore, egg layer, needs rocky cover and substratum, not easy to raise in tanks (Ref. 6398). Teugels, G.G. 1991 Stomatepia. p. 465. In J.

Continuous, dark grey-black mid-lateral band present from opercle to mid-level of caudal peduncle (Ref. 52307, 81260). Often a dark spot at caudal base; dorsal, caudal and pectoral fins watery yellow, orange-yellow in mature males; pelvic and anal fins dusky grey; large "tilapia spot" present in soft dorsal fin of juveniles, this spot fades with age but a trace may be retained in adults (Ref. 81260).
