Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
; acqua dolce demersale; pH range: 6.8 - 7.8; dH range: ? - 25. Tropical; 22°C - 28°C (Ref. 13614); 35°N - 5°N
Africa: Nile and Chad basins (Ref. 3202, 57223). Report from the upper Benue (Niger basin) (Ref. 57223) needs confirmation.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 3.1 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 57223)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 1; Spine anali: 0. Diagnosis: body short and robust, its depth 4.2-5.2 times in standard length; head as long as broad, dorsal surface rough; maxillary barbels non-membranous and unbranched, up to 2 times longer than head; mandibular barbels with short, simple ramifications; humeral process long and pointed; 1st dorsal-fin spine smooth on anterior and posterior margins; 2nd dorsal fin with 10-14 rays; pectoral-fin spines more strongly denticulate on inner than on outer margin; caudal fin deeply forked, with upper lobe slightly longer than lower (Ref. 57223).
Coloration: general colour pattern similar to that of M. niloticus, but there seem to be fewer dots on dorsal fins (Ref. 57223).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
