Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 22-26; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 30 - 35. Diagnosis: Number of anal fin rays between 30 and 35; anal fin length 24.4-27.8% of standard length; preanal length 54.3-59.0% of standard length (Ref. 91771). Caudal peduncle depth 26.9-33.1% of its length (Ref. 91771).
Type locality (Lufubu River) is a braided rocky channel with dense riparian forest; water flow rapid, but also deep pools providing slacker flow areas; substrate is rocky but with considerable amounts of leaf litter; some sections with mats of aquatic water ferns and mosses and filamentous algae (Ref. 91771).

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=0.01585 (0.00697 - 0.03603), b=2.85 (2.67 - 3.03), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
