These observations, combined with a dorsoventrally compressed body shape, suggest that L. mbimbii is adapted to rapid, rocky main-channel habitats. The waters where specimens have been collected are slightly acidic (pH 5.5–6.5), with low conductivity (2–5 μS/cm2) and low concentrations of dissolved solids (TDS 4–10 ppm).
