Etymology: Gobiocichla: Latin, gobius = gudgeon + Greek, kichle = wrasse (Ref. 45335); wonderi: Named wonderi in honour of the collector Mr. Frank C. Wonder (Ref. 53780).
Eponymy: Frank C Wonder (1904–1963) was a taxidermist at the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
; acqua dolce benthopelagico. Tropical; 17°N - 10°N
Africa: rapids in the middle and upper Niger (Ref. 52307, 53405).
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.2 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 53781)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 22 - 24; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Spine anali: 2 - 4; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 10; Vertebre: 33 - 35. Diagnosis: upper jaw moderately protrusible; groove between upper jaw and snout "normal" for Cichlidae, continuous around snout and moderately deep; snout tip not visible from below; body vertically oval in cross-section; squamation relatively only slightly reduced; Tilapia mark on soft dorsal present in juveniles and adults (Ref. 53766).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
Rheophilic (Ref. 52307), occurs in swift waters (Ref. 7378, 53405) and rapids (Ref. 2756, 3012). Feeds mainly on algue attached to rocks (Ref. 2756, 53781). Probably a cave spawner that practices pair-bonding, albeit weakly (Ref. 52307). From aquarium observations: no assistance from male exhibited during guarding or cleaning of eggs and larvae; juveniles swim freely at about 3 weeks post-spawning and are guarded by both parents for about 1 month; male is not as strongly involved during brood care
as female (Ref. 52307).
