Comments: Present in the Shiloango basin (Ref. 2). Also Ref. 5166. The locality "Boma" of some records from the fish collection of the Royal Museum for Central Africa is doubtful; specimens from the Dja basin in the same collection need to be checked; note that the presence of the species in the Congo basin is not mentioned in any literature source including Ref. 2, 55074 and 81260 (T. Musschoot, pers. comm.).

Africa: present in the basins of the Ogooué, Nyanga, Kouilou-Niari and Chiloango, Gabon to Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ref. 2, 81260). Reports from Gambia and Senegal (Ref. 3538) and Guinea (4517) are doubtful and need confirmation (see Ref. 2, 81260). Also reported from the Cuanza (Angolan coastal) and the southern Congo River basin in Angola (Ref. 120641) but considered a Lower Guinea endemic in Ref. 81260; needs confirmation.

Tamanho / Peso / Idade

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 30.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 2)

Descrição breve Morfologia | Morfometria

Espinhos dorsais (total): 14 - 16; Raios dorsais moles (total): 12-13; Espinhos anais 3; Raios anais moles: 9 - 11; Vértebras: 27 - 29. Diagnosis: scales of cheek in 2 or usually 3 horizontal rows; in mature males preorbital bone and jaws enlarged; upper profile of head often concave; outermost teeth bicuspid, and inner tricuspid in immature fishes and females, all becoming unicuspids in males; male genital papilla spade-shaped; margins of dorsal and caudal fins red in mature males (Ref. 2).

Biologia     Glossário (ex. epibenthic)

Occasionally territorial; stomachs contained algae, mainly unicellular or in short filaments (Ref. 2). Arena-spawning, exclusively maternal mouthbrooder with marked sexual dichromatism when sexually active (Ref. 81260).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturidade | Reprodução | Desova | Ovos | Fecundidade | Larvas

Nests are made on sandy or loamy bottoms in water 40-80 cm deep, or more sparsely in depths of a meter or more; they are circular basins with a diameter of 115-185 cm, about 20 cm deep in the middle with a rim raised 7-8 cm above the surrounding level; spawning occurs at night, the fishes seeking deeper waters during the day to avoid high temperatures and intense illumination (Ref. 2). Reproduction is seasonal, usually taking place during the dry seasons from June to September and in February; can reach maturity at a size of 15 cm; breeding behavior is similar to that of its congeners (e.g. O. niloticus) (Ref. 52307).
