Haplochromis piceatus is a species of cichlid fish endemic to Lake Victoria in East Africa.[1] Although listed as vulnerable by the IUCN, surveys since 2005 have failed to find it in its home lake and it is possibly extinct in the wild.[2][3] Captive "safety populations" are maintained at several public aquariums.[3][4]
This species can reach a standard length of Шаблон:Cvt.[1] Males are bluish-black with orange fins and females are grayish. The species generally resembles H. cinereus and H. macrops, also from Lake Victoria, but it differs in having a longer jaw and a higher gill raker count.[4] In the wild it was typically found over a muddy bottom at depths of about Шаблон:Cvt where it fed on zooplankton and insect larvae, but captives will eat a wide range of standard aquarium fish food.[1][4]
