Corematodus taeniatus is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi, Lake Malombe and the upper Shire River in East Africa.[1] It is a generalized aggressive mimic of various sand-dwelling cichlids. It is therefore able to approach unsuspecting schools of these species and rapidly take a mouthful of scales or fin.[2][3]
