Lamprologus cunningtoni Boulenger, 1906 Lepidiolamprologus cunningtoni is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika where it prefers areas with sandy substrates in which it digs crater-shaped nests.

This carnivorous species takes fish as prey.

This species can reach a length of 29.1 centimetres (11.5 in) TL.

[2] This species inclusion in this genus has been questioned based upon its lacking many of the characteristics of its congeners.

[2] The specific name of this fish honours the British zoologist William Alfred Cunnington (1877-1958), who collected the type on an expedition to Lake Tanganyika.
