Etymology: Grasseichthys:Greek, grassos, -ou = stink, dirt + Greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335). Eponymy: Dr Pierre-Paul Grassé (1895–1985) was a French entomologist and biologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page. More on author: Géry.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / 深さの範囲 / distribution range 生態学
Africa: scattered localities in the Ivindo and the larger Ogowe basin of Gabon; reports from the central Congo basin refer to another species (Ref. 81636).
サイズ / 重さ / 年齢
成熟: Lm? range ? - ? cm Max length : 2.1 cm SL オス/雌雄の選別がない; (Ref. 42473)
背面の脊椎 (合計) : 0; 背鰭 (合計) : 7 - 8; 肛門の骨: 0; 臀鰭: 9 - 10; 脊つい: 35 - 36. Diagnosis: very small and larval in appearance; body elongate, laterally compressed, shallow (body depth 17.9-20.0% SL in females and 15.2-17.9% SL in males); scaleless; head small (head length 18.0-22.7% SL), with small, terminal mouth and large eyes; teeth absent; interorbital distance narrow (11.9-12.9% HL); gill opening short and located above pectoral fin; pectoral fins positioned ventrally and often splayed out from the body in preserved specimens; caudal peduncle long, with keels of transparent tissue, apparently anterior extensions of caudal fin membrane, reaching forward on both dorsal and ventral edge (ventral extension is more developed); caudal fin forked, with 16 rays, including an unbranched ray on dorsal and ventral edge; fin spines lacking; 2 branchiostegal rays; body semi-translucent, with myomeres clearly visible; lateral line absent; epibranchial organ reduced or absent (Ref. 81636).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Open water species, not burrying in sand; forms schools; spawns during the raining season, during which it may be very abundant, forming aggregations in open water areas in the swamps; females of 20-24mm carry about 40 round, ripe eggs of about 0.4mm diameter; males mature at a size of about 18mm total length (Ref. 91379).

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
