Iodotropheus stuartgranti is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi. It can also be found in the aquarium trade. This species can reach a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours Stuart M.

The males are territorial and the female will lay anywhere within a male's territory.[1]
