Short description
आकृति विज्ञान | मौरफोमैटरिक्स
पृष्ठीय रीढ़ (सम्पूर्ण): 15 - 16; पृष्ठीय सौफट रेज़ (सम्पूर्ण): 8-10; गुदा कांटा 3; ऐनल सौफट रेज़: 8 - 9. Melanin pattern showing 9-11 vertical bars; dorsal head profile convex; lower head profile straight and almost horizontal (Ref. 40899).
Found in sandy areas (Ref. 40899). Feeds on small cichlids, possibly small invertebrates as well (Ref. 40899). Breeding males protect an area of about 2 meters in diameter with a nest located at its center (Ref. 40899).
