The rivers where specimens were collected are characterized by a humic, moderately acidic (pH 4.1-5.3), dark-brown water with low conductivity (10–50 μS/1cm) , and low concentrations of dissolved solids (TDS: 10–30 mg/L). These parameters, combined with the species body colouration, suggest that this species is adapted to forested habitats, muddy, humic, and dark-brown waters of the Mfimi River tributaries (Ref. 131888).
