Kasenga Point

The compressed cichlid, Altolamprologus compressiceps, is a substrate-spawning cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika, where it lives among rocky rubble. Its colour pattern varies with locality, and many forms are traded under their own names, such as 'Burundi red fin' and 'black cheek'. Populations should be kept apart and labelled with their collection locality to avoid hybridisation. A smaller, shell-dwelling fish traded as A. sp. compressiceps 'shell' appears to be an undescribed species.

Cyphotilapia gibberosa is a large cichlid endemic to southern Lake Tanganyika, with a hump on the forehead and broad vertical body bands. Until its description in 2003 the genus was considered monotypic, and forms referred to as 'Blue Zaire' are sometimes misidentified as C. frontosa. A gregarious maternal mouthbrooder, it grows to 255 mm SL and forms a dominance hierarchy in groups of at least five.
