Petrotilapia

Die Gattung der Petrotilapia sind durch breite, fleischige Lippen gekennzeichnet. Diese Lippen sind jeweils mit schlanken, dicht aneinander sitzenden dreispitzigen Zähnen besetzt. Bemerkenswert ist, dass man die Zähne der Petrotialpia Arten auch sieht, wenn sie das Maul geschlossen haben. Generell kann man die verschiedenden Arten der Petrotilapia in drei verschiedene Gruppen unterteilen. Die Petrotilapia tridentiger Gruppe, wird vorwiegend im wellenumspülten, oberen Felsbiotop beobachtet. Die Petrotialapia genalutea Gruppe, aus dem sedimentreichen Biotop der Übergangszone und die Petrotilapia nigra Gruppe, die man nur im reinen Felsbiotop beobachten kann.
