HAP COMPRESSICEPS

The Hap Compressiceps, also referred to as the Malawi Eye-biter, is endemic throughout Lake Malawi in shallow waters around submerged vegetation. The majority of specimens within the aquarium trade are now commercially produced, however; it is rare to encounter wild imported Hap Compressiceps for sale. Though this fish is readily referred to as a Hap, which is short for Haplochromis, the Hap Compressiceps is actually classified within the genus Dimidiochromis.
