Etymology: Rubricatochromis: Name from rubricatus, Latin for red coloured, refers to the bright red colouration on body of most species when in dominance or broodcare; and chromis, a common ending for African cichlid fishes (Ref. 128620).
Environnement : milieu / zone climatique / profondeur / gamme de distribution
Écologie
; eau douce benthopélagique. Tropical; 22°C - 26°C (Ref. 2059)
Africa: Equatorial Guinea to Cabinda, including central regions of Gabon (Ref. 81260). Also in western Republic of Congo (Ref. 81260) and in the Congo River from Pool Malebo (=Stanley Pool) to its estuary (Ref. 43352). Also present in the Likouala and Likouala-aux-Herbes, upstream from Pool Malebo in the middle Congo River basin, in Republic of Congo (Ref. 43352).
