Discussion
- males are supposed not to differ from females
Facts
- length-weight Ww in g = 0.01122*(TL in cm)^3.05 (Ref: fishbase)
- Africa: Congo River basin: from Pool Malebo up to the upper Lualaba and Luapula in Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Angola and Zambia. Lower Guinea: found in coastal River basins in Cameroon, Gabon and the Republic of Congo (Ref. 80290). Also reported from Lake Tanganyika, the Malagarazi River and the Rusizi River (Ref: fishbase)
