Etymology: Oreochromis: Latin, aurum = gold + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335).

; zoet water benthopelagisch. Tropical
Africa: known only from the catchment of Lake Natron in Tanzania (Ref. 32272, 118638).
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturiteit: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.2 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 32272)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 13 - 14; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 11 - 13; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 9 - 12. Diagnosis: A very small slender species with a wide mouth with broad lips bearing numerous teeth (Ref. 118638). Mature males have dark-edged dorsal and anal fins, iridescent blue-white spots on flanks, white lips, and a spotted caudal fin edged in pink; male breeding dress shows geographic variation, with some populations having yellow bellies and throats, while others are white (Ref. 118638). Females and non-territorial males are sandy-coloured, paler ventrally, sometimes with numerous vertical bars (Ref. 118638).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
A maternal mouthbrooder: males defend spawning territories among rocks in shallow water (Ref. 118638). Potential as an aquarium fish (Ref. 118638).
