Haplochromis ishmaeli is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Victoria though it may now be extinct in the wild. This species can reach a length of 13.6 centimetres (5.4 in) SL.[2] A captive "insurance" population is maintained.[3] The specific name honours one George Ishmael who was an interpreter at the Police Court in Entebbe, who gave valuable assistance to the Swiss ornithologist who collected type, Edward Degen, while he was in Uganda.[4]
