Haplochromis spekii is a species of cichlid found in Lake Victoria and the adjacent reaches of the Nile. This species reaches a length of 22 centimetres (8.7 in) SL.[2] The specific name of this species honours John Henning Speke (1827-1864), the English explorer who, with James Augustus Grant, discovered a major source of the Nile was Lake Victoria.[3]
