Lamprologus ornatipinnis
Lamprologus ornatipinnis Poll, 1949
First described in: Poll, M. (1949). Deuxième série de Cichlidae nouveaux recueillis par la mission hydrobiologique belge en Lac Tanganika (1946-1947). <em>Bulletin de l'Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique.</em> v. 25 (no. 33): 1-55.
Neolamprologus ornatipinnis is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika, where it prefers areas with sandy substrates or, sometimes, rocky areas. While not a shell dweller like many of its congeners, it does use shells (and possibly rock crevices) for spawning. This species can reach a length of 7.8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade.
