Original description as Lamprologus werneri:

ZooBank:4518EBFF-8135-455E-A23B-B8860EA8E2D8.

  • Poll, Max. 1959. "Resultats scientifiques des missions zoologiques au Stanley Pool subsidiées par le Cemubac (Université Libre de Bruxelles) et la Musée Royal du Congo (1957-1958). III. Recherches sur la faune ichthyologique de la région du Stanley Pool". Annales du Musée du Congo Belge. Series 8:71(3):109-110 (crc01060)

Conservation: Lamprologus werneri is evaluated by the international union for the conservation of nature in the iucn red list of threatened species as (VU) vulnerable (2009). Urbanization is a problem in the region through sewage cast and lead toxicity, mainly coming from car oil and a lot of boot traffic (Moelants, 2009). The species is known from fewer than 10 locations.
