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 ...
