Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Rather common in habitats where rocks border larger stretches of sand, normally in water with a depth of less than 10 metres (Ref. 46829). In captivity, this species is an aggressive cichlid which can be only kept with larger or very active tank mates (Ref. 7343). Feeds on invertebrates like crustaceans, small mollusks, worms and insect larvae (Ref. 7343, 46829).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 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).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.3   ±0.39 se; based on food items.
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).
Price category (Ref. 80766):   Unknown.
