Thoracochromis
''Thoracochromis'' is a fish genus of haplochromine, haplochromine cichlids that are endemism, endemic to Africa. Most species are from rivers in Angola and Namibia, or the Congo River Basin in Central Africa, but ''T. wingatii'' is from the Nile system. Additionally, there are a few apparently undescribed species from the Nile system (two in its delta and one from lakes near Fayum), which appear to be close relatives of ''T. wingatii'' or ''Haplochromis loati''. Many species have been moved between this genus and ''Haplochromis'', and while some consensus has been reached in recent years, their mutual delimitation is still far from settled. Species There are currently 12 recognized species in this genus: * ''Thoracochromis albolabris'' (Ethelwynn Trewavas, Trewavas & Dirk Frans Elisabeth Thys van den Audenaerde, Thys van den Audenaerde, 1969) (Thicklipped Happy) * ''Thoracochromis bakongo'' (Dirk Frans Elisabeth Thys van den Audenaerde, Thys van den Audenaerde, 1964) * ''Thoraco ...

Haplochromis Loati
''Haplochromis'' is a ray-finned fish genus in the family Cichlidae. It has been used as the default " wastebin taxon" for Pseudocrenilabrinae cichlids of the East African Rift, and as such became the "largest" fish "genus". Many of these cichlids are popular aquarium fishes; like similar Haplochromini they are known as "haplos", "happies" or "haps" among aquarium enthusiasts. The genus was established by F.M. Hilgendorf in 1888. It was originally conceived as a subgenus of A.C.L.G. Günther's ''"Chromis"'', at that time an even larger "wastebin genus" for Pseudocrenilabrinae cichlids. The type species of Hilgendorf was '' H. obliquidens''. ''"Chromis"'' of Günther turned out to be a junior homonym of G. Cuvier's ocean fish genus '' Chromis'', already established in 1814, and was abolished. As the years went by, other genera of (mostly) Haplochromini were lumped with and split again from ''Haplochromis'', and the final delimitation of the clade around ''H. obliquidens'' ...
