About the species
Mylochromis sp. "Three Peaks" is an undescribed haplochromine cichlid recorded from Three Peaks Reef, on the central-western shore of Lake Malawi. Like Mylochromis sp. "Kande," this trade name is a pure locality tag rather than a resemblance comparison to a described species, reflecting a population that has not yet been tied to a named relative in the sources drawn on here. It has no formal description, no describing author, and no FishBase entry.
