Africa: Okavango River, upper Zambezi River, Lake Kariba and the Kafue River (Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe).

Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Maturity: L_m 11.3, range 10 - 12.5 cm
Max length : 34.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 13337); max. published weight: 1.0 kg (Ref. 7248); max. reported age: 6 years (Ref. 7248)

Favors deep permanent floodplain channel and lagoons, with sandy bottom and vegetation (Ref. 7248, 52307). Feeds on aquatic insects, crustaceans and snails (Ref. 7248). Ovophilic, agamous (Ref. 52307) female mouthbrooder (Ref. 7248, 52307). Males construct a nest where the eggs are initially laid; mature at 10-12 cm length; useful snail control agent (Ref. 7248).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01862 (0.00880 - 0.03939), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.54 se; based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (tm=2; tmax=5.5).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (21 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
