Etymology: flavus: Flava = latin for yellow (referring to the usual body color)(Ref. 52307)..
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ekologi

Africa: endemic to Lake Bermin, Cameroon (Ref. 52307, 81260).
Size / Vikt / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.2 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 12251)
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 15; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 11; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: lower pharyngeal jaw robust, with a large, non-heart-shaped, dentigerous plate, covered with stout, sparsely arrayed teeth; oral dentition fine; outer row teeth obliquely truncate; anterior gill rakers markedly reduced in size (Ref. 81260).
Feeds primarily on phytoplankton, but also accepts higher plants and sponges (Ref. 52307). Pair-bonding, open (Ref. 52307) substrate brooder/spawner (Ref. 52307, 81260), with both parents guarding the brood (Ref. 52307). Prefers to spawn at depths of 1-2 m; eggs are normally deposited on sunken pieces of wood; occasionally, colonies consisting of about 10 pairs have been found, with pairs separated from each other by about 30 cm; pairs defending juveniles collectively have been observed, which might be an indication of cooperative broodcare (Ref. 52307).

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref.
69278): 2.7 ±0.1 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref.
120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
