Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 16; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 9; Espinas anales 3; Radios blandos anales: 6. Diagnosis: Haplochromis snoeksi is distinguished from all riverine haplochromines from the Congo and Quanza ichthyofaunal provinces by the following unique combination of characters: chest partially naked, without scales vs. fully scaled in H. bakongo, H. brauschi, H. callichromis, H. demeusii, H. fasciatus, H. lucullae, H. moeruensis, H. multiocellatus, H. schwetzi and H. stigmatogenys; 16 circumpeduncular scales vs. 12 in H. oligacanthus and H. polli; and an upper lateral line with 23 scales vs. 17-19 in H. luluae (Ref. 85558).
Rheophilic species (Ref. 97348), found on a substrate of sand with pebbles and mud (Ref. 85558).
