Haplochromis pappenheimi is a species of cichlid found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda where it occurs in Lake Edward, Lake George and the Kazinga Channel. This species can reach a length of 6.1 centimetres (2.4 in) SL.[2] The specific name honours the curator of fishes at the Royal Museum, Berlin Paul Pappenheim (1878-1945), who was the co-author of the paper in which this species was described.[3]
