Etymology: Neolamprologus: Greek, neos = new + Greek,lampros = torch + Greek, lagos = hare (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Freshwater; benthopelagic; depth range 12 - 15 m (Ref. 28629). Tropical
Africa: endemic to Lake Tanganyika, between the Ubwari Peninsula and the Kavalla Islands, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ref. 28629, 46829).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 8.6 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 28629)
Present in the rocky habitats (Ref. 46829) at a depth of 12-15 m (Ref. 28629). Most often found solitary; feeds on invertebrates, seen more often outside caves of the rocky substrate than N. buescheri (Ref. 46829).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
