''Variabilichromis moorii'' has no common name and is a species of freshwater cichlid endemic to Eastern Africa. It is a small ovate bodied fish named for an early collector of fish from the lake, J. E. S. Moore. Juveniles are usually yellow, and adults are dark brown to black in color.〔Borstein, Sam. "Variabilichromis Moori (Boulenger, 1898)." Sam Borstein's Cichlids. N.p., n.d. Web. 20 Nov. 2013. .〕 It reaches a total length (TL) of . Currently it is the only member of its genus. ''V. moorii'' feeds on algae, zooplankton, and benthic invertebrates. It is also found in the aquarium trade.
==Taxonomy==
''V. moorii'' is the only member of the ''Varibilichromis'' genus, as well as a member of the Lamprologini tribe. It had previously been in the ''Neolamprologus'' genus, but in 1985, Colombé & Allgayer created the new monotypic ''Variabilichromis'' genera in order to account for a more ancestral supra-orbital bone structure. This was rejected by Poll's (1986) classification, but supported by Stiassny (1997).〔 Stiassny's classification kept the monotypic genera due to the aforementioned bone structure, as well as the existence of two other characteristics that are rare in the Lamprilogini tribe: their diet includes filamentous algae, and females have two working ovaries.〔Borstein, Rick. "Variabilochromis Moorii." Variabilochromis Moorii. Greater Chicago Cichlid Association, 11 Aug. 2011. Web. 20 Nov. 2013. .〕
