Issue
The species
Anabas machadoi
Fowler, 1930 is considered valid in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. Mar. 2012: Ref. 89686). It is treated here a synonym of
Ctenopoma multispine
Peters, 1844 following Skelton et al. (1985: Ref.
79613
).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic; pH range: 6.0 - 7.5; dH range: 5 - 20. Tropical; 24°C - 27°C (Ref.
2060
); 10°S - 28°S
Africa: Lufira River, Lualaba-Upemba, Luapula-Moero in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Upper Zambezi in Zambia and Angola and Cubango-Okovango-Ngami in Angola and Botswana (Ref.
6803
). Also known from the Kunene (Ref.
120641
), the Kafue and rivers of coastal Mozambique (Ref.
7248
,
52193
), the Cuanza (Ref.
7248

Obligate air-breathing (Ref.
126274
); Occurs in vegetated riverine backwaters, floodplain lagoons, swamps and isolated pans (Ref.
52193
). It feeds on any suitably small creature, including insects, shrimps, and small fish; well camouflaged; hunts by slowly stalking prey (Ref.
52193
). May congregate in groups to breed; the eggs are scattered around and not guarded (Ref.
52193
). Can endure warm stagnant waters and is known to leave the water and move overland to alternative sites in wet weather or at night (Ref.
7248
,
52193
).
