Ecologia
; acqua dolce benthopelagico; pH range: 7.5 - 8.5; non migratori. Tropical; 18°C - 22°C (Ref. 2060)
Africa: shore weeds and shallow parks in lake Orsedi and the Suksuk river drainage near lake Zwai, in southern Ethiopia, Lake Naivasha and inflowing streams near Nairobi, southern Kenya.

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 31267); common length : 3.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 27139)
An aberrant population was found in the deeper parts of lake Naivasha. May now be extinct in Kenya due to the introduction of Tilapia and Micropterus salmoides (Ref. 3788). Not a seasonal killifish (Ref. 27139).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5001 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01122 (0.00514 - 0.02450), b=3.04 (2.87 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
