Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; pelagic; pH range: 6.5 - 7.5; dH range: 10 - 25. Tropical; 23°C - 27°C (Ref.

).
Affinities:
M. humilis
is most similar and possibly conspecific with
M. stormsi
Boulenger, 1902, and
M. sardina
Poll, 1938; apart from coloration, it is distinguished from latter two species on the basis of slight differences in overlapping features (see Ref. 80290).
