It can also be found in the Nile Basin, Lake Chad, and the upper Zambezi.

[2] The banded jewelfish is yellow-green with a bronze iridescence and has five large, black, glossy oval patches on the side of the body.

Older specimens have a brick-red dot on each scale.

If keeping these animals in an aquarium, your best chance is a large tank (75 gallon+), and with plenty of cover.

Limit the selection of fish to one large adult or several small juveniles.
