Etymology: Paretroplus: Name from the Greek 'para' meaning 'on the side of'; in taxonomy it is commonly used in generic names to express similarity or relatedness; in the present case it would mean 'next to Etroplus' (S.Kullander, pers.comm. 3/11).; dambabe: Dambabe (pronounced dambah bay), a Malagasy word that translates as large or big damba, in reference to the comparatively large size attained by this species relative to other members of the genus; damba is the Malagasy name that is used to refer to a number of species of Paretroplus in northwestern Madagascar, and be translates as big or large in Malagasy; specific epithet used as a noun in apposition (Ref. 117174).

Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 16 - 18; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 17 - 19; Duri dubur: 8 - 10; Sirip dubur lunak: 13 - 15. Diagnosis: A member of the deep-bodied clade of Paretroplus and distinguished from congeners, in preservative, by pale yellow to golden body colouration in combination with a series of six or seven faint to barely discernable, particularly in adults, vertical, dark-olive bars on the flank, and in the possession of uniform gray or charcoal-gray unpaired fins; in life, P. dambabe is unique among congeners in the possession of a grayish to bluish-green base colouration, which is accompanied by a highly variable amount of bright red pigmentation on the flank, particularly below the upper branch of the lateral line (Ref. 78623). Paretroplus dambabe is further distinguished from P. petiti, a species with which it has been erroneously associated for decades, by overall colouration, light yellowish olive vs. dark brown; brownish spotting, reddish in life, on the flanks in preservative, particularly anteriorly and below the lateral midline; and a shallower body, 48.3-57.1% of standard length vs. 57.9% (Ref. 78623).
