Etymology: Oreochromis: Latin, aurum = gold + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); lepidurus: From the Greek "lepis" = scale and "oura" = tail, referring to the densely scaled caudal fin (Ref. 55074).

Africa: lower Congo River basin in Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ref. 2). Also reported from Angola (Ref. 2, 55074, 74387, 120641), where it probably occurs in the lower Congo River and/or coastal rivers between the lower Congo and Bengo (Ref. 2).

Short description
Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 15 - 17; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt): 9-12; Taggstrålar i analfenan 3; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 8 - 9; Ryggkotor: 28. Diagnosis: mature male with tuberculate genital papilla, some of the tubercles prolonged into filaments (Ref. 2). Caudal fin of adults densely scaled, usually with a reticulate melanin pattern (Ref. 2, 55074). 28 vertebrae; total dorsal rays 24-27; 19-24 lower gill-rakers; in adults snout long, preorbital bone deep and blade of lower pharyngeal 2-2.3 times the median length of the toothed area; outer teeth of jaws bicuspid unless by wearing down of minor cusp (Ref. 2).
Microphagous, using plankton (Ref. 2, 55074). Maternal, ovophilic mouthbrooder (Ref. 52307).

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01905 (0.00827 - 0.04391), b=3.01 (2.82 - 3.20), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resiliens (Ref.
120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
