Discussion
- males are assumed to not differ from females
Facts
- length-weight: Ww in g = 0.01445*(TL in cm)^2.91 (Ref: fishbase)
- Only fish known to practice brood parasitism: it manages to mix it eggs with those of mouthbrooding cichlids. Its larvae grow faster than those of the host and feed on them (Ref: fishbase)
- Endemic to Lake Tanganyika (Ref: Wiki)
