Notes
Discoverer(s): Richard E. Furzer, together with Dr. W. Warne of the
Rhodesian Department of Agriculture, January 12. 1969 (rediscovered by
Trevor Wood et al. in Moçambique in 1999).
Status specie: accepted by all authors.
In captivity : Species with a long natural incubation period (7 months or
more). Embryonated eggs have been observed only one month after
spawning if they are maintained on the spawning substrate. Probably the
same thing happens in nature if the ponds contain a lot of water and due to
the great speed with which they reach sexual maturity.
Very fast-growing and short-lived species. Females also have a relatively
short spawning period, emptying themselves of eggs and making it difficult
for them to refill. Standard captive maintenance with some particularities.
Variability: hight
