Cyprichromini is a tribe of African cichlids, containing seven species in two genera: Cyprichromis and Paracyprichromis. Most species are endemic to Lake Tanganyika; only C. microlepidotus has also been seen in eastern Tanzania.

The members of this tribe are small elongated fish found in schools in open waters where they feed on plankton.[1] They are mouthbrooders.[1]
