Neolamprologus mustax is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika. This species reaches a length of 9 centimetres (3.5 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] Individuals are yellow in color and thus resemble juveniles of another cichlid species, V. moorii, which may provide N. mustax with greater access to V. moorii feeding territories.
