Docimodus johnstoni is a species of haplochromine cichlid. It is known from Lake Malawi, Lake Malombe, and the upper Shire River in Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania.[2] This species has unusual feeding habits: it is reported to feed on fins of clariid catfishes.[2][3] The specific name honours the United Kingdom explorer, botanist, linguist and Colonial administrator, Sir Henry Hamilton Johnston GCMG KCB (also known as Sir Harry Johnston) (12 June 1858 – 31 July 1927), who presented the type to the British Museum (Natural History).[4]
