It is only found in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, where it is
found in tributaries of the Olifants River, namely the Doring River, and
the Biedou, Boskloof, Driehoeks, Groot, Jan Dissels, Kobee, Noordhoeks,
Ratels, Rondegat, Thee and lower Twee Rivers in theCederberg
Mountains. It is not known whether it still occurs in the Olifants River
itself in any numbers, and at least above Clanwilliam Damand below
Olifants Gorge it has apparently gone extinct.
This Yellowfish can be found inside pools or holes inside the river
systems where they are patrolling for food during the day, with a good
pair of polarized glasses one should be able to spot them, especially if
surveying the waters from an elevated position.
During the spawning season these fish can be found in very shallow
waters of the above mentioned river systems.
