This species is not very colorful (Ref. 12251). Lives in the intermediate habitat, which is characterized by a sandy bottom with numerous rocks; maintains close contact with rocky substrate; ventral part of body remains just few millimeters above substrate while fish follows contours of rock; rare cichlid; occurs at dephts deeper than 15 m; highly developed lateral line system for prey detection (Ref. 46829). Crustaceans, insect larvae, copepods, snail fragments, plant material and sand grains found in stomach (Ref. 46829, 93980).

Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Haut, temps minimum de doublement de population inférieur à 15 mois (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
