A field and laboratory study showed that L. fuelleborni differed from L. trewavasae morphologically, in coloration, in geographic distribution, preferred habitat and ability to penetrate depth, which suggests that intralacustrine allopatric speciation may account for much of the species diversity of cichlids of rocky zones.
