Hemibates stenosoma
Hemibates stenosoma is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. It is generally most numerous at depths between 80 and 200 m (260–660 ft), but performs a seasonal migration to inshore regions when it can occur as shallow as 20 m (65 ft). It is predatory, feeding on fish and prawns, and grows to a total length of 30 cm (1 ft). This species is the only formally described member of its genus.
