Africa: middle Congo River basin in Democratic Republic of the Congo, including Pool Malebo (= Stanley Pool); especially common in Lake Tumba (Ref. 43912).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 25.2 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 43912)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 1. Diagnosis: adipose fin always present; anterior nostrils closer to each other than posterior ones; snout reaching slightly beyond lower jaw; nasal barbel always reaching beyond orbit; eyes rather large (horizontal diameter 26,8-33,1% HL); inner side of pectoral spine feebly serrated (Ref. 43912).
Confined to larger lakes and rivers; possibly a shoaling species; polyphagous with a frugivorous tendency; stomach contents examined showed the presence of sand, mud, benthic vegetable remains, leaves, fruits and insect remains (Ref. 43912). Oviparous, eggs are unguarded (Ref. 205). Probably of economic importance locally for fishermen of Lake Tumba; maximum reported TL 280mm (Ref. 43912).

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=0.00589 (0.00263 - 0.01321), b=3.02 (2.83 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): Elevada, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população menor que 15 meses (Assuming fec > 10,000).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
