Africa: present in Lake Victoria and Victoria Nile near the Owen Falls dam (Ref. 4903, 26960). Possibly also in Lake Kioga (Ref. 78218).

Occurs among stones and shingle over the river bed (Ref. 4903, 104773), and in similar places on wave-washed rocky shores of the lake (Ref. 4903, 104734). Preference for rocky or stony substrates, where they hide among the rocks (Ref. 78218). Feeds mainly on lithophilic insects (Ref. 12526, 104773), plants and Copepoda (Ref. 12526), but shows great adaptability in diet (Ref. 12526). Nothing is known about spawning and reproduction (Ref. 78218).

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00759 (0.00343 - 0.01679), b=2.96 (2.78 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
