Size / Gewicht / Alter
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 3.8 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 36377)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt): 7 - 8; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt): 14-16; Afterflossenstacheln 2; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 6 - 8. This species is distinguished from all other cichlids by having only two (vs. three or more) anal spines; differs from B. opercularis by lacking anguloarticular lateralis canal; 3 or 4 (vs. 5) skin openings and 2 or 3 (vs. 4) canal fragments representing the dentary lateralis canal; dorsal fin with slightly prolonged anterior spines and lappets; modal dorsal fin count VII.15 (vs. VIII.14); and 6 (vs. 5) dark spots along the middle of the side (Ref. 86446).
The type locality was a shallow laguna about 25 m wide, with transparent water, vegetation resembling needlegrass; water temperature 34°C; associated with another cichlid species,
Crenicara filamentosum, the dominant species at the locality (Ref. 86446).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Geschlechtsreife | Fortpflanzung | Ablaichen | Eier | Fecundity | Larven
Eggs are deposited at the ceiling of a cave; the female tends to eggs and yolk-sac larvae; both parents care for the free-swimming young (Ref. 42051).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00283 - 0.01852), b=3.13 (2.91 - 3.35), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.1 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Widerstandsfähigkeit (Ref.
120179): mittel, Verdopplung der Population dauert 1,4 - 4,4 Jahre. (Assuming Fec<1000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
