Londo Bay
LOHN-doh BAY (approx.)
The atlas records 27 collection-point forms from Londo Bay, across 14 genera.

Londo Bay is a site on Lake Malawi's Mozambique shore, about 4 km northeast of Lumbaulo.
Where it is
Londo Bay is on the eastern shore of Lake Malawi, in its central third (166 mi south of the lake's northern tip).
Nearest collection points: Lumbaulo 2.4 mi south-west · Ntumba 6.8 mi south · Ngombe 11 mi north
Shore, third and distances are measured from the coordinates above against the lake’s mapped outline.
The water
Lake-wide measured chemistry of Lake Malawi — collection points share their lake's water; site-specific figures are shown only where the literature records them.
Nearest measured station: Salima (south-east shore) (~216 km) — Conductivity 235 µS/cm
Surface temperature here
Across Apr–Nov, monthly means run 76 °F to 82 °F — coolest in Aug. Measured by satellite 1995–2023: the daily median of clear readings within 10 km of the site (1054 clear days). The rainy-season months are usually too cloudy to measure and are left blank.
Temperature: ESA Climate Change Initiative, Lakes_cci v3.0 (Asfour et al. 2026; doi:10.5285/a56dba09df8a42ec9fba8b8c7a5e1f69). Chemistry on this page remains the lake's own.
Each entry below is the population of that species recorded here — the form aquarists keep and breed as a distinct, provenance-labelled line. Crossing forms from different collection points is considered hybridisation in the hobby.
