Serranochromis is a genus of relatively large, robust cichlids from freshwater habitats in mainland Southern Africa, ranging as far north as DR Congo and Tanzania, with the highest species richness in the upper Zambezi, Okavango and Congo basins.[1][2] They are typically known as largemouths or, especially among fishers, breams (although unrelated to other fish known as "bream").[1][3] Serranochromis are mostly piscivores and they are important in local fisheries.[2]
