Paracyprichromis brieni is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika where it is only known to occur in the northernmost portion of the lake.[1] It can reach a length of 11 centimetres (4.3 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours the author, Max Poll's, friend and fellow zoologist Paul Brien (1928-1964) of the Université libre de Bruxelles.[3]
