Etymology: Copadichromis: Greek, kopas, -ados = carved + Chromis, see; insularis: Named from the Latin insularis (adjective), meaning of islands, in reference to the fact that the known populations all occur at islands.

Ökologie
; süßwasser benthopelagisch; tiefenbereich 13 - 18 m (Ref. 57549). Tropical
Africa: Maleri, Chinyankwazi and Chinyamwezi islands in Lake Malawi, Malawi (Ref. 57549).
Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 57549)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 15 - 17; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 10 - 11; Afterflossenstacheln: 3; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 3 lateral spots on body; supra-pectoral spot in contact with upper lateral line; supra-pectoral spot about 1.5 times supra-anal spot; supra-anal spot in contact with upper lateral line; breeding males with wide yellow marginal band in anal fin, blue breast, no black submarginal band in dorsal fin and white margin of dorsal fin (Ref. 57549).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Found in sand/rock interface and over sandy patches around the islands, between 13 and 18m; territorial males build spawning bowl from beneath flat rocks; spawning occurs underneath the rock; females and non-territorial males occur in small groups (up to 10 individuals) and feed on plankton in the water column 1-3 m above the bottom (Ref. 57549).
