Nimbochromis livingstonii Günther, 1894


Original description as Hemichromis livingstonii:

Conservation: Nimbochromis livingstonii is evaluated by the international union for the conservation of nature in the iucn red list of threatened species as (LC) least concern (2006). Nimbochromis livingstonii does not seem to be harmed by the overfishing going on in Lake Malawi. Perhaps due to the fact that it rarely strikes bait and also that it is found in intermediate habitats where nets cannot be employed effectively.
