Ctenochromis

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

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

• Ctenochromis aff. pectoralis
