Teleogramma

Teleogramma is an African genus of cichlids with five species. These dark and slender fish barely reach 10 cm (4 in) in length and are limited to rapids in the Western Congo River basin in DR Congo/Congo Brazzaville.[1] They are distinctive, with specialized anatomy. They are characterized by elongated heads with tubular nostrils and a lateral line that is not interrupted, as it is in most cichlids.[2]

For the former moth genus, see Teleogramma (moth).

Species

There are currently 5 recognized species in this genus:[1]

gollark: Yes, but those aren't operations-level.
gollark: Additionally, the security is kind of bad so I would basically have to give anyone else working on it full access to everything.
gollark: I refuse to delegate any osmarks.net operations because nobody else I know has the particular weird skillset (and knowledge of my code) necessary to run it.
gollark: (but I habitually say "we")
gollark: (okay, fiiiine, nobody else works directly on this)
