'''Lamprologini''' is a [[Tribe (biology)|tribe]] of African [[cichlid]] fishes. It contains seven [[genera]] and nearly 100 [[species]]. Over half of the species in this tribe are in the large genus ''Neolamprologus''. Most genera in the tribe are [[Endemism|endemic]] to [[Lake Tanganyika]], but |
'''Lamprologini''' is a [[Tribe (biology)|tribe]] of African [[cichlid]] fishes. It contains seven [[genera]] and nearly 100 [[species]]. Over half of the species in this tribe are in the large genus ''Neolamprologus''. Most genera in the tribe are [[Endemism|endemic]] to [[Lake Tanganyika]], but several species of ''[[Telmatochromis]]'' (esp. ''[[Telmatochromis devosi|T. devosi]]'') can be found from its outflow rivers [[Malagarasi River]] in [[Tanzania]] and [[Lukuga River]] in [[DRC]], and several species of ''[[Lamprologus]]'' are from the [[Congo River Basin]]. |

The species in this tribe are very small to medium-sized cichlids, but vary extensively in appearance and habitat preference.Smith, M.P. |
The species in this tribe are very small to medium-sized cichlids, but vary extensively in appearance and habitat preference.{{cite book|author=Smith, M.P. |year=1998|title= Lake Tanganyikan Cichlids |pages= 10—11 |isbn=0-7641-0615-5}} Unlike most Tanganyika cichlids which are [[mouthbrooder]]s, Lamprologini species are substrate spawners (typically using caves or rock crevices), and some are [[shell dwellers]].{{cite journal | last1 = Sturmbauer | last2 = Verheyen | last3 = Meyer | year = 1994 | title = Mitochondrial phylogeny of the Lamprologini, the major substrate spawning lineage of cichild fishes from Lake Tanganyika in eastern Africa | journal = Mol Biol Evol | volume = 11 | issue = 4| pages = 691–703 | doi = 10.1093/oxfordjournals.molbev.a040148| pmid = 8078408| doi-access = free }} |
