Biology:Cardiopharynx
From HandWiki
Cardiopharynx schoutedeni is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. It is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, and Zambia. This semi-pelagic fish prefers habitats over sandy bottoms where it feeds on aquatic microorganisms. It can reach a length of 15 centimetres (5.9 in) TL. It is also found in the aquarium trade.[1] The specific name honours the Belgian zoologist Henri Schouteden (1881-1972) who was director of Musée Royal de l'Afrique Centrale in Tervuren and who was one of the first zoologists to collect this species.[2]
