Etymology: Zaireichthys:Composed form Zaire river + Greek,ichtys = fish; the habitat of this fish (Ref. 45335); pallidus:Named for its very pale colouration (Ref. 86935).
Africa: upper Zambezi up to and including the Barotse Floodplain in Zambia, the Chobe and Kwando rivers in Namibia, and the Okavango Delta in Botswana (Ref. 86935). Also reported from the Zambezi and Okavango in Angola (Ref. 120641).

成熟度: Lm? range ? - ? cm Max length : 2.4 cm SL 雄魚/尚未辨別雌雄; (Ref. 86935); 2.5 cm SL (female)
背棘 (總數) : 2; 背的軟條 (總數) : 4 - 5; 臀棘: 0; 臀鰭軟條: 9 - 12; 脊椎骨: 36 - 38. Diagnosis: This species is generally more pallid and less conspicuously marked than other species of Zaireichthys (Ref. 86935). It differs from Zaireichthys conspicuus, Z. kunenensis, Z. lacustris and Z. maravensis in possessing a narrow premaxillary tooth patch, less than 40% of the mouth width; from Z. monomotapa by the smaller number of rays in the dorsal fin, 4-5 soft rays vs. 5-6), pectoral fins, 5-7 vs. 7-8, and caudal fin, 9-13 vs. 14-16; from Z. kavangoensis in colour pattern (Ref. 86935).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Found in shallow water with a sandy bottom (Ref. 94654). It feeds on small invertebrates, including mayfly nymphs and caddis fly larvae (Ref. 94654).
