Paretroplus lamenabe
Species of fish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paretroplus lamenabe is a species of cichlid from the lower part of the Mahajamba River[2] and Lake Tseny[3] in northwestern Madagascar. Until its official scientific description in 2008, it was popularly known as the "Giant Lamena". As suggested by this name, it is a relatively large Paretroplus of the lamena group, reaching almost 20 centimetres (7.9 in) in length.[2] This relatively elongate Paretroplus is closely related to the smaller P. nourissati and P. tsimoly.[2]
