It is potentially also threatened by large emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the lake's bottom (compare Lake Nyos),[2] although studies indicate that Barombo Mbo lacks excess amounts of this gas.[3]
It feeds on tiny organisms such as rotifers, diatoms and sponge spicules, and organic debris.[1]
The specific name honours the entomologist Gerhard Steinbach (1923-2016) of the Humboldt University of Berlin who was a member of an expedition which was led by zoologist Martin Eisentraut on which the type of this cichlid was collected.[4]
