Formally Haplochromis latifasciatus, Now Astatotilapia Latifasciata is a species of cichlid that is endemic to Uganda where restricted to the Lake Kyoga system, including Lake Bisina (a medium-sized lake to the east of Lake Kyoga itself) and Lake Nawampasa (a small lake southeast of Lake Kyoga itself and only separated by a thin swamp).[2][3] This fish can reach a total length of 11 cm (4.3 in).[4] It is also seen in the aquarium trade and it is easily bred in captivity.[3] In the aquarium trade it is frequently labelled as Haplochromis "zebra obliquidens", which sometimes cause confusion with Haplochromis obliquidens, a separate species from Lake Victoria that is not known from the aquarium trade.[3][5]
