Etymology: Copadichromis: Greek, kopas, -ados = carved + Chromis, see; parvus: Named from the Latin parvus (small; adjective) to indicate the small size of this species when compared to other species of Copadichromis (Ref. 57549).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range

Description synthétique
Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total): 15 - 17; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 10-12; Épines anales 3; Rayons mous anaux: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 3 lateral spots on body; supra-pectoral spot about the same size as supra-anal spot; 2 vertical bars between supra-pectoral spot and opercle; no black submarginal band in dorsal fin; males in breeding coloration with black anal fin lacking colored marginal band and white to blue colored blaze on head (Ref. 57549).
Territorial males are found at depths of 11-23 m and build bowers by excavating sand from beneath rocks; females and non-territorial males feed in the open water column 1-3 m above the bottom and on benthic invertebrates; mouth-brooding females occur solitarily and stay close to the substrate (Ref. 57549).

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=0.01514 (0.00700 - 0.03275), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
