Haplochromis Dolorosus
''Haplochromis'' is a ray-finned fish genus in the Family (biology), 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 Franz Martin Hilgendorf, F.M. Hilgendorf in 1888. It was originally conceived as a subgenus of Albert C. L. G. Günther, A.C.L.G. Günther's ''"Chromis"'', at that time an even larger "wastebin genus" for Pseudocrenilabrinae cichlids. The type species of Hilgendorf was ''Haplochromis obliquidens, H. obliquidens''. ''"Chromis"'' of Günther turned out to be a junior homonym of Georges Cuvier, 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 lumpers and splitt ...
