Ecology of Nannocharax zebra
 
Main Ref. Dunz, A.R. and U.K. Schliewen, 2009
Remarks Type specimens of Nannocharax zebra were collected inshore in areas of relatively calm water among fine twigs of a fallen tree; these twigs were not reaching soil, but remained attached to the crown of the fallen tree and reaching into the free water column; specimens sometimes rested on the fine twigs, but mostly were seen moving or hovering in the free water column in a water depth of aproximately 50-100 cm, well above the bottom which consisted of leaflitter, sand and fine detritus (Ref. 80507).
