Benthochromis tricoti is a species of fish in the cichlid family. It is endemic to Lake Tanganyika in Africa and lives at depths of up to Шаблон:Convert.[1] It feeds on small crustaceans and plankton. It reaches a maximum length of Шаблон:Convert. Like many other cichlids, it is a mouthbrooder.[2]

"B. tricoti" seen in the aquarium trade are actually B. horii, a species only scientifically described in 2008.[3]

The specific name of this fish honours a Monsieur Tricot, of the Great Lakes Railroad Company in Albertville, for the interest and concern he showed for the Belgian Hydrobiological Mission to Lake Tanganyika during 1946–1947, which collected the type.[4]
