Biotope: Deep-water habitat below 50 m, living and breeding in subdued light; species of this assemblage generally display a bottom-dwelling habitus.
Geographic distribution: Station: Mid North, Malawi.
Typical adult size: Not specified; deep-water Placidochromis species are generally small, most under 10 cm standard length.
