Mylochromis guentheri is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi where it is found over sandy substrates. This species can reach a length of 20 centimetres (7.9 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours the German-born British zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist Albert Günther (1830-1914).[3]
