Issue
In Micropanchax in CofF (v, April 2020) following Skelton (2019: Ref. 120641). However no evidence is presented in the latter publication. More work is needed.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic; non-migratory. Tropical
Africa: Cuanza River and minor rivers flowing into the Atlantic Ocean in Angola (Ref. 47311, 120641). Possibly also in the Cunene River system in Angola (Ref. 11970, 52193, 120641) and Namibia (Ref. 52193). Unconfirmed reports from the Cubango (e.g. in Ref. 11970) and upper Kasai in central and northeastern Angola respectively, at least the latter may represent an unidentified species (Ref. 47311).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 27139)
Occurs in small rivers, brooks, swamps and shallow parts of larger rivers and lakes (Ref. 47311). Not a seasonal killifish (Ref. 27139).

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=0.00562 (0.00222 - 0.01425), b=3.07 (2.85 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.0 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
