Ptychochromis grandidieri is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae endemic to river basins along a large part of the eastern coast of Madagascar , although it has been recorded as far as 100 km (62 mi) inland.[2] Uniquely in the genus Ptychochromis, this species also occurs in brackish water.[2] It reaches 35cm in standard length.[3] It shares a large part of its range with a cichlid from another genus, Paretroplus polyactis.[4] The specific name honours Alfred Grandidier (1836-1921), the France naturalist and explorer who, with Henri Joseph Léon Humblot (1852-1914), collected the type.[5]
