With rising water levels, new habitats could be colonized and the many isolated rocky outcrops allowed new mbuna species to form. [3]

Lake Tanganyika holds at least 250 species of cichlid fish [4] and there are still undescribed species in the lake. [5] Almost all (98%) of the Tanganyika cichlids are endemic to the lake and it is thus an important biological resource for the study of speciation in evolution.
Anomalochromis is a genus of fish in the family Cichlidae, containing the single species Anomalochromis thomasi, the African butterfly cichlid. [2] It is a small cichlid growing to a length of 6–8 centimetres (2.4–3.1 in). The natural habitat of A. thomasi is Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, mainly in smaller streams.
