Etymology: Copadichromis: Greek, kopas, -ados = carved + Chromis, see; parvus: Named from the Latin parvus (small; adjective) to indicate the small size of this species when compared to other species of Copadichromis (Ref. 57549).
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
; acqua dolce benthopelagico. Tropical
Africa: from just north of the Chiloelo River to the bay north of Metangula, Lake Malawi, Mozambique (Ref. 57549).
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 9.6 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 57549)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 15 - 17; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 10 - 12; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: 3 lateral spots on body; supra-pectoral spot about the same size as supra-anal spot; 2 vertical bars between supra-pectoral spot and opercle; no black submarginal band in dorsal fin; males in breeding coloration with black anal fin lacking colored marginal band and white to blue colored blaze on head (Ref. 57549).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Territorial males are found at depths of 11-23 m and build bowers by excavating sand from beneath rocks; females and non-territorial males feed in the open water column 1-3 m above the bottom and on benthic invertebrates; mouth-brooding females occur solitarily and stay close to the substrate (Ref. 57549).
