Ctenochromis Explained

Ctenochromis is a genus of haplochromine cichlids endemic to the Lake Tanganyika and Congo River basins in Africa.

At present, 5 species are validly described in Ctenochromis:

• Ctenochromis horei (Günther, 1894)
• Ctenochromis luluae (Fowler, 1930)
• Ctenochromis oligacanthus (Regan, 1922)
• Ctenochromis pectoralis Pfeffer, 1893  - Pangani Haplo (listed as extinct by the IUCN, but this appears to be incorrect).
• Ctenochromis polli (Thys van den Audenaerde, 1964)

An undescribed population that appears to be a distinct species is:

• Ctenochromis aff. pectoralis
