Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 13 - 15; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 13 - 16; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 7; Ryggkotor: 28. Diagnosis: 2 scale rows between upper lateral line and anterior part of lower lateral line (Ref. 52346, 53405). High lateral line count (38-42); low gill raker count (13-15 along lower limb of first arch); lower pharyngeal jaw with a short, deep keel that is deeply indented along the ventral margin (Ref. 52346).
Appears to be an exclusively Upper Guinean Province species (Ref. 52346). Inhabits large sandbanks and hardly ever penetrates into small streams (Ref. 53407). Benthic macrophage (Ref. 52346). Feeds primarily upon insects and their larvae, but also accepts plants (Ref. 52307). Oviphilous (Ref. 53407), maternal mouthbrooder that does not pair bond (Ref. 52307).
