A biparental substratum-spawner that practices long-term care of its fry; breeding pairs guarding fry (Ref. 40691). Stomach contents were mainly crushed insects, most of which appear to be nymphal odonates and hemipterans, and significant amounts of fibrous plant material (Ref. 40691).

Paretroplus tsimoly is further distinguished from both P. lamenabe and P. nourissati by a lateral pigmentation pattern in which the posteriormost five, or four, as the bar on the caudal peduncle is sometimes pale, bars on the flank are about equally prominent, vs. only central two bars strongly pigmented and prominent in P. lamenabe and P. nourissati (Ref. 78623).Description: Mature individuals possess prominent lobed blue lips (Ref. 40691). Small scales deeply embedded on chest and belly (Ref. 40691). Accessory parapophyses restricted to the anterior two caudal vertebral centra (Ref. 40691). With rounded soft anal and dorsal fin extensions passing beyond caudal fin origin; caudal fin emarginate; pelvic fins cover the genital papilla when adducted, but do not reach anal fin origin (Ref. 40691).Colouration: Upper half of head pale beige, a faint narrow interorbital stripe present; snout with distinct pale orange hue in large adults; lips, lower jaw, lower cheek, branchiostegal membranes and chest bluish grey to dusky purple; dorsum and flanks pale beige, lightening towards the ventrum; flanks traversed by 5 or 6 dark grey bars extending from dorsum to the ventrum; axil of pectoral fin with a dark spot, though not always visible; vertical and ventral fins smoky beige, broadly edged in bright red; pectorals uniformly smoky red and the iris of the eye ringed red (Ref. 40691). Parental individuals with upper half of head, nape and body brilliant golden orange and the vertical bars are intense blue-black (Ref. 40691).
