Tribe Eretmodini

Eretmodini , “goby cichlids”, are endemic and dominate the shallow waters of Lake Tanganyika, together with Lamprologini and Haplochromini . Eretmodini are the sister group to Haplochromini / Tropheini ( Meyer et al., 2015) . We only have at our disposal the karyotype of Eretmodus cyanostictus (2n = 46), which is composed of series of metacentrics (five pairs) and acrocentrics of slowly decreasing size) with absence of any large element.
