Neolamprologus christyi is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika. This species can reach a length of 13.7cm (05.4inches) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade. This cichlid's specific name honours the British naturalist and explorer Cuthbert Christy (1863-1932) who worked for the Belgian Governemant and who collected the type in either 1926 or 1927.[1]
