Etymology: Copadichromis: Greek, kopas, -ados = carved + Chromis, see; melas: Named from the Greek adjective melas (black) to indicate the entirely black coloration of breeding males..
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologie
; zoet water demersaal. Tropical

Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.9 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 57549)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 15 - 17; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 10 - 12; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 3 lateral spots on body; supra-pectoral spot about same size as supra-anal spot; 3 vertical bars between supra-pectoral spot and opercle; no black submarginal band in dorsal fin; breeding males entirely black with black anal fin without colored margin, spots, or streaks
Inhabits the sand/rock interface along the lake shore; territorial males build their bowers at depths of 10-15m; females commonly occur solitarily or in small groups of 3-4 individuals; both males and females feed on plankton near the bottom and on benthic invertebrates (Ref. 57549).
