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
Ecologia
; Água doce demersal. Tropical
Africa: occurs between Tumbi Point and Cobwé, Lake Malawi, Mozambique (Ref. 57549).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.9 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 57549)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 15 - 17; Raios dorsais (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais : 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).
