Stewart, 1976 }}Lamprologus lethops is a species of cichlid fish from areas with fast current in the Congo River in Central Africa, where it is believed to live in depths as great as {{convert|160|m|ft|abbr=on}} below the surface.[2] It reaches about {{convert|10|cm|in|abbr=on|0}} in length with males growing somewhat larger than females, is all whitish in color (non-pigmented), and essentially blind as adult, as their eyes are covered in a thick layer of skin (only retain a slight sensibility to light).[3][4] The eyes of juveniles are rudimentary and not covered by skin.[4] Living L. lethops were seen for the first time in 2011 when local fishermen managed to bring up a few specimens alive from the depths. Otherwise they rapidly die due to changes in pressure.[4][5] They have subsequently been kept in aquaria.[5] Based on these individuals its behavior is essentially similar to that of its "normal-looking" relatives, like L. congoensis.[4][5] Among other fish species with similar adaptations (reduced eyes and non-pigmented) found in similar habitats in the Congo River are an elephantfish (Stomatorhinus microps), a clariid catfish (Gymnallabes nops), a mochokid catfish (Chiloglanis sp.), two claroteid catfish (Notoglanidium pallidum and Platyallabes tihoni), and four spiny eels (Mastacembelus aviceps, M. brichardi, M. crassus and M. latens).[6][7] References1. ^{{cite iucn | author = Moelants, T. | year = 2010 | title = Lamprologus lethops | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2010 | page = e.T182930A8005445 | url = http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2010-3.RLTS.T182930A8005445.en | accessdate = 28 January 2019}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q6425310}}{{Lamprologini-stub}}2. ^Norlander, Britt (April 20, 2009).
