Issue Name is a junior primary homonym of Haplochromis cyaneus Trewavas, 1935. According to Article 23.9.5 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature a replacement name is not needed (MRAC pers. comm.). This species is uncertain in Haplochromis in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Jul. 2010: Ref. 84883 ). Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Freshwater; benthopelagic.

Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 10.7 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 27668 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Dorsal spines (total): 16 - 17; Dorsal soft rays (total): 9-11; Anal spines : 3; Anal soft rays : 8 - 10; Vertebrae : 30 - 32 Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Restricted to rocky substrates; lives and feeds exclusively on the surface of rocky substrates, usually exposed to wave action; never observed or collected in crevices, and rarely in sheltered embayment; feeds predominantly on Chironomid larvae that live among algal filaments on the surface of rocks; polygynous female mouth brooder with maternal parental care (Ref. 27668 ). Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae A polygynous female mouth brooder with maternal parental care. In the aquarium, females incubate eggs and larvae for about 15 days before they first release them and guards the fry for another 15 days.
