Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 14.6 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 4979)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 15 - 18; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 10 - 12; Espinhos anais: 3; Raios anais moles: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 3 lateral spots on the body; supra-pectoral spot about 1.5 times the supra-anal spot; supra-pectoral spot separate from upper lateral line; supra-anal spot smaller than 2 scales; males in breeding coloration with blue breast, narrow yellow marginal band in anal fin and without spots or streaks in the anal fin (Ref. 57549).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Inhabits the sand/rock interface; territorial males defend their bower with a bowl in front of a spawning cave that spans about half a circle or less, about 19-33cm in diameter; females gather in small groups or are solitary, and feed from the plankton and benthic invertebrates near the bottom (Ref. 57549). Aquarium trade names: 'Haplochromis chrysonotus mbenji', 'Haplochromis chrysonotus maleri' (Ref. 5595).
