It is the most slender of all of the Trachelyopterus species. Another feature that helps identity it is the terminal mouth, other Trachelyopterus species have a slightly high-level mouth.[3]
The species is found in the tropical aquarium fish trade, though is not popular.[4] It is listed in the "least concern" category of the IUCN Red List.[1]
