Haplochromis obliquidens

Haplochromis obliquidens is an African species of cichlid found in Lake Victoria and the adjacent reaches of the Nile. This species can reach a standard length of 8.9 cm (3.5 in).[2] Another species sometimes seen in the aquarium trade, Haplochromis latifasciatus of the Lake Kyoga system, is frequently labelled as Haplochromis "zebra obliquidens", which sometimes cause confusion between the species.[3] Unlike that species, H. obliquidens is not known from the aquarium trade.[4]
