Haplochromis granti
Haplochromis granti is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Victoria, though it may now be extinct. This species can reach a length of 12.2 centimetres (4.8 in) SL.[2] The specific name honours the Scottish naturalist and explorer James Augustus Grant (1827-1892) who was the co-discoverer of Lake Victoria's role as a major source of the Nile, alongside John Henning Speke.[3]
