 | | The Rift Valley lakes are primarily known for the extensive radiations of fish species in the family Cichlidae. |
 | | Endemic species of the Clariidae, Claroteidae, Mochokidae, Poecilidae, Mastacembelidae, Centropomidae, Cyprinidae, Clupeidae and other families are also found in these lakes. |
 | | A unique pelagic fish community has evolved in Lake Tanganyika including two endemic clupeids, Limnothrissa miodon and Stolothrissa tanganicae, that feed on zooplankton in the pelagic zone and, in turn, provide food for the four predatory centropomids, Lates angustifrons, L. |
