Etymology: Fundulopanchax: Latin, fundus = bottom; a peculiar name for a topminnow, coined for a bottom species of Atlantic coast being "the abode of the fundulus mudfish" + Greek, soma = body.
Eponymy: Frank Spoorenberg was a Dutch aquarist who discovered the species in an aquarium store in Amsterdam. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Ambiente: milieu / zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / gama de distribuição
Ecologia
; Água doce bentopelágico; não migratória. Tropical; 20°C - 24°C (Ref. 2060)
Africa: origin unknown, but thought to originate from the border area between Nigeria (Calabar) and Cameroon (Mamfe); concluded from the fact that it was imported together with Fundulopanchax ndianus, which inhabits that area (Ref. 47774, 56193).
